# Groups vs Attendy

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Groups at 90% against Attendy's 35%. Groups also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.0) and ratings volume (154 vs 5). Attendy's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Groups sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Attendy sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Groups holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Groups has 154 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 90% of Groups's written reviews are positive against 35% of Attendy's.

Groups ships an update every 3 months, Attendy every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
