# Commit vs SQLite

The clearest difference is rating: SQLite at 3.0 against Commit's 2.0. SQLite also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly). Commit's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (36% vs 0%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Commit sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and SQLite sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SQLite holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Commit's written reviews are positive against 0% of SQLite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Commit ships an update monthly, SQLite every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
