# try! vs Thread

The clearest difference is rating: try! at 5.0 against Thread's 4.5. try! also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly) and device support (4 vs 2). Thread's advantage is ratings volume (12 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

try! holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Thread has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

try! ships an update every 4 days, Thread fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
