# 2248 vs 13

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 2248 at 58% against 13's 17%. 2248 also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 11 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 2248 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and 13 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

2248 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 2248 has 2.8K ratings behind it against 53, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 58% of 2248's written reviews are positive against 17% of 13's.

2248 ships an update every 2 months, 13 every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
