# EARLY vs Tenths

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tenths at 100% against EARLY's 37%. Tenths also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and ads (none vs shown). EARLY's advantage is ratings volume (146 vs 4). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EARLY sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.00 per month and Tenths sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tenths holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EARLY has 146 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 37% of EARLY's written reviews are positive against 100% of Tenths's.

EARLY ships an update every 4 weeks, Tenths every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
