# SQLite vs DBKit

The clearest difference is update cadence: SQLite at every 4 days against DBKit's fortnightly. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SQLite sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $8.99 per month and DBKit sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SQLite ships an update every 4 days, DBKit fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
