# Break the cable vs Count and Bounce

Break the cable also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Count and Bounce's advantage is ratings volume (19K vs 109) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Break the cable sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Count and Bounce sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
