# Sub vs SecondMe

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sub at 90% against SecondMe's 46%. Sub also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.6 vs 4.2). SecondMe's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sub sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and SecondMe sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sub holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sub has 153 ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 90% of Sub's written reviews are positive against 46% of SecondMe's.

Sub ships an update every 2 weeks, SecondMe fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
