# Covered vs LTE Manager

The clearest difference is rating: Covered at 3.0 against LTE Manager's 2.4. Covered also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). LTE Manager's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 46 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Covered sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and LTE Manager sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Covered holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 46 and 35 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Covered's written reviews are positive against 41% of LTE Manager's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Covered ships an update every 46 months, LTE Manager every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
