# Differences vs Differences Online

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Differences at 67% against Differences Online's 22%. Differences Online's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 28). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Differences sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Differences Online sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Differences Online holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Differences Online has 1.3K ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Differences's written reviews are positive against 22% of Differences Online's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Differences ships an update every 5 months, Differences Online monthly. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
