# 一罐 vs SPACE

The clearest difference is monetization model: 一罐 at free against SPACE's free with in-app purchases. 一罐 also leads on rating (4.1 vs 3.9) and ratings volume (272 vs 45). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 一罐 sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and SPACE sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

一罐 holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 一罐 has 272 ratings behind it against 45, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of 一罐's written reviews are positive against 51% of SPACE's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

一罐 ships an update every 5 weeks, SPACE every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 26, 2026.
