Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Outernet at 5.0 against Close's 4.3. Close's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 months) and review sentiment (74% vs 50%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Outernet holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Close has 34 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Close's written reviews are positive against 50% of Outernet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Close ships an update every 4 days, Outernet every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 12, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
