# Measure vs Quick Measure

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Quick Measure at 100% against Measure's 7%. Quick Measure also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.7) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). Measure's advantage is ratings volume (460 vs 4) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Measure sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Quick Measure asks for nothing beyond the download.

Quick Measure holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Measure has 460 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 7% of Measure's written reviews are positive against 100% of Quick Measure's.

Measure ships an update every 5 days, Quick Measure every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
