# IceBrekr vs Join

The clearest difference is ads: Join at none against IceBrekr's shown. Join also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 weeks). IceBrekr's advantage is ratings volume (13 vs 2). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IceBrekr sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Join sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for IceBrekr against 5.0 for Join. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IceBrekr has 13 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

IceBrekr ships an update every 5 weeks, Join every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
