# Reverse vs FirstFinder

The clearest difference is rating: FirstFinder at 5.0 against Reverse's 3.8. FirstFinder also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 2 months). Reverse's advantage is ratings volume (5.1K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Reverse sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and FirstFinder sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

FirstFinder holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reverse has 5.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Reverse ships an update every 2 months, FirstFinder daily. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
