# BatteryPhone vs Unplugged

The clearest difference is rating: Unplugged at 4.7 against BatteryPhone's 3.6. Unplugged also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). BatteryPhone's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Unplugged sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. BatteryPhone asks for nothing beyond the download.

Unplugged holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 156 and 116 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of BatteryPhone's written reviews are positive against 48% of Unplugged's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

BatteryPhone ships an update every 2 months, Unplugged every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
