# Nightstand ※ vs Nightstand

The clearest difference is ads: Nightstand ※ at none against Nightstand's shown. Nightstand ※ also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 125). Nightstand's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 26 months) and review sentiment (70% vs 40%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nightstand ※ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Nightstand sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Nightstand holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nightstand ※ has 1.5K ratings behind it against 125, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Nightstand ※ ships an update every 26 months, Nightstand every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
