# 2nd Line vs Devyce

The clearest difference is monetization model: 2nd Line at free with in-app purchases against Devyce's subscription. 2nd Line also leads on ratings volume (17K vs 22) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). Devyce's advantage is review sentiment (64% vs 41%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 2nd Line sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Devyce sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

2nd Line holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 2nd Line has 17K ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of 2nd Line's written reviews are positive against 64% of Devyce's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

2nd Line ships an update every 5 weeks, Devyce every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
