# Rabit vs Dear Me

The clearest difference is ads: Rabit at none against Dear Me's shown. Rabit also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). Dear Me's advantage is ratings volume (5K vs 194) and update cadence (every 11 days vs monthly). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Rabit sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Dear Me sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dear Me holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dear Me has 5K ratings behind it against 194, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 49% and 48% positive.

Rabit ships an update monthly, Dear Me every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
