# Alias vs Alias

The clearest difference is update cadence: Alias at every 3 days against Alias's every 2 months. Alias's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 4) and chart position (#178 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Alias sells 31 one-off in-app purchases and Alias sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Alias against 5.0 for Alias. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Alias has 1.8K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 94% of Alias's written reviews are positive against 100% of Alias's.

Alias ships an update every 2 months, Alias every 3 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
