# ServerCat vs Ad Stat

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ad Stat at none against ServerCat's 3. Ad Stat also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (14.1 vs 17.0). ServerCat's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (996 vs 2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ServerCat sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per year. Ad Stat asks for nothing beyond the download.

Ad Stat holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ServerCat has 996 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

ServerCat ships an update every 5 days, Ad Stat every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
