# Sunsa vs Sentry Pro

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sunsa at none against Sentry Pro's 4. Sunsa also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 54%) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.0). Sentry Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 29 months) and ratings volume (1K vs 30). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sentry Pro sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Sunsa asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Sunsa against 4.5 for Sentry Pro. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sentry Pro has 1K ratings behind it against 30, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 83% of Sunsa's written reviews are positive against 54% of Sentry Pro's.

Sunsa ships an update every 29 months, Sentry Pro every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
