# Sumaddle vs Suko

The clearest difference is monetization model: Suko at free against Sumaddle's free with in-app purchases. Suko also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Sumaddle's advantage is ratings volume (769 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sumaddle sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and Suko sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Sumaddle against 5.0 for Suko. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sumaddle has 769 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
