# ATAC vs Cradle

The clearest difference is monetization model: Cradle at free with in-app purchases against ATAC's subscription. Cradle also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). ATAC's advantage is review sentiment (77% vs 50%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ATAC sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Cradle sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ATAC ships an update every 3 weeks, Cradle weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
