# Infuse vs split

The clearest difference is review sentiment: split at 100% against Infuse's 60%. split also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Infuse's advantage is ratings volume (28K vs 1) and device support (5 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Infuse sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and split sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

split holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Infuse has 28K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of Infuse's written reviews are positive against 100% of split's.

Infuse ships an update fortnightly, split every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
