# Be vs Outliner

The clearest difference is price: Outliner at Free against Be's $2.99. Outliner also leads on ratings volume (66 vs 1). Be's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Outliner is free to download; Be costs $2.99 up front. Be sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month and Outliner sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Be holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Outliner has 66 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
