# Alliance vs C

The clearest difference is ads: Alliance at none against C's shown. Alliance also leads on ratings volume (23K vs 6.8K). C's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 weeks) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Alliance sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and C sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

C holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 23K and 6.8K respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 85% of Alliance's written reviews are positive against 88% of C's.

Alliance ships an update every 6 weeks, C every 10 days. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
