# PingMe vs Multi

The clearest difference is rating: PingMe at 3.7 against Multi's 2.8. PingMe also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 13). Multi's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 11) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PingMe sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Multi asks for nothing beyond the download.

PingMe holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PingMe has 1.1K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of PingMe's written reviews are positive against 60% of Multi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

PingMe ships an update every 2 months, Multi every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
