# Fanward vs Sabrinalert

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sabrinalert at 86% against Fanward's 50%. Sabrinalert also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (269 vs 20). Fanward's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fanward sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $18.99 per month and Sabrinalert sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Fanward holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sabrinalert has 269 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Fanward's written reviews are positive against 86% of Sabrinalert's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Fanward ships an update every 4 months, Sabrinalert every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and July 4, 2026 respectively.
