# Metronome vs Thread Stash

The clearest difference is rating: Metronome at 5.0 against Thread Stash's 3.3. Thread Stash's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Metronome sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Thread Stash asks for nothing beyond the download.

Metronome holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Metronome's written reviews are positive against 100% of Thread Stash's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Metronome ships an update every 4 weeks, Thread Stash monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
