# ServerCat vs GLview Pro

The clearest difference is update cadence: ServerCat at every 5 days against GLview Pro's every 2 months. ServerCat also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 1) and chart position (#67 vs unranked). GLview Pro's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ServerCat sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per year and GLview Pro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GLview Pro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ServerCat has 1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

ServerCat ships an update every 5 days, GLview Pro every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
