# Human vs SpongeBob

The clearest difference is update cadence: SpongeBob at every 4 weeks against Human's every 4 months. SpongeBob also leads on price ($2.99 vs $4.99). Human's advantage is ratings volume (3.1K vs 221) and rating (4.2 vs 4.0). On ads, in-app purchases, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.

Human costs $4.99 and SpongeBob $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Human holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Human has 3.1K ratings behind it against 221, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 65% of Human's written reviews are positive against 54% of SpongeBob's.

Human ships an update every 4 months, SpongeBob every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on October 19, 2026.
