# Summuray vs Summary

The clearest difference is rating: Summary at 4.4 against Summuray's 3.0. Summary also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 4 months) and review sentiment (82% vs 65%). Summuray's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and device support (4 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Summary sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Summuray asks for nothing beyond the download.

Summary holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Summary has 38 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 65% of Summuray's written reviews are positive against 82% of Summary's.

Summuray ships an update every 4 months, Summary every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
