# Reframe vs Sunflower

The clearest difference is ads: Sunflower at none against Reframe's shown. Sunflower also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 62%). Reframe's advantage is chart position (#131 vs unranked) and ratings volume (46K vs 6.5K). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Reframe sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $13.99 per month and Sunflower sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.95 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 — 4.7 for Reframe against 4.8 for Sunflower. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reframe has 46K ratings behind it against 6.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 62% of Reframe's written reviews are positive against 78% of Sunflower's.

Reframe ships an update every 4 days, Sunflower every 5 days. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
