# 过期啦 vs receptacle

The clearest difference is rating: 过期啦 at 4.8 against receptacle's 3.5. 过期啦 also leads on ratings volume (227 vs 2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). receptacle's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 过期啦 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and receptacle sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

过期啦 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 过期啦 has 227 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of 过期啦's written reviews are positive against 100% of receptacle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

过期啦 ships an update weekly, receptacle every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
