# Even Longer vs ReeHeld

The clearest difference is price: ReeHeld at Free against Even Longer's $3.99. ReeHeld also leads on rating (4.3 vs 4.1) and iOS requirement (17.3 vs 26.0). Even Longer's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 6 weeks) and chart position (#58 vs unranked). On review sentiment, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReeHeld is free to download; Even Longer costs $3.99 up front. Even Longer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and ReeHeld sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReeHeld holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 223 and 448 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Even Longer's written reviews are positive against 55% of ReeHeld's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Even Longer ships an update every 8 days, ReeHeld every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
