# U vs Parry

The clearest difference is rating: Parry at 5.0 against U's 2.2. Parry also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months). U's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ratings volume (51 vs 2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Parry sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. U asks for nothing beyond the download.

Parry holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: U has 51 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

U ships an update every 3 months, Parry every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
