# Weekly vs Cashews

The clearest difference is monetization model: Weekly at free with in-app purchases against Cashews's subscription. Weekly also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 50%) and ratings volume (3.8K vs 70). Cashews's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Weekly sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Cashews sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Weekly holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weekly has 3.8K ratings behind it against 70, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of Weekly's written reviews are positive against 50% of Cashews's.

Weekly ships an update every 2 weeks, Cashews every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
