# MakePass vs Splitter

The clearest difference is ads: MakePass at none against Splitter's shown. MakePass also leads on ratings volume (285 vs 14). Splitter's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 46%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MakePass sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Splitter sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for MakePass against 4.5 for Splitter. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MakePass has 285 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 46% of MakePass's written reviews are positive against 80% of Splitter's.

MakePass ships an update every 2 months, Splitter every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
