# Xfinity vs The Shuman

The clearest difference is monetization model: The Shuman at free against Xfinity's free with in-app purchases. The Shuman also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.2). Xfinity's advantage is ratings volume (1.4M vs 4) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Xfinity holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Xfinity has 1.4M ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
