# SumOne vs askBae

The clearest difference is ratings volume: SumOne at 19K against askBae's 580. askBae's advantage is review sentiment (91% vs 74%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SumOne sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and askBae sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for SumOne against 4.8 for askBae. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SumOne has 19K ratings behind it against 580, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 74% of SumOne's written reviews are positive against 91% of askBae's.

SumOne ships an update every 6 days, askBae every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
