# Metricool vs Happlace

The clearest difference is rating: Happlace at 5.0 against Metricool's 2.6. Happlace also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). Metricool's advantage is ratings volume (117 vs 1) and chart position (#130 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Metricool sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $30.00 per month and Happlace sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Happlace holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Metricool has 117 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Metricool ships an update every 2 weeks, Happlace every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
