# Sofra vs Hello

Sofra and Hello are too close to call on the numbers: across 6 compared parameters — price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.

Both are free to download. Sofra sells 36 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per 6 months and Hello sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sofra ships an update every 5 months, Hello every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
