# Mycond vs Phil

Mycond and Phil both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Mycond's written reviews are positive against 48% of Phil's. Mycond also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Phil's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 20 months) and ratings volume (5.1K vs 2). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Phil sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Mycond asks for nothing beyond the download.

Phil holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Phil has 5.1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Mycond's written reviews are positive against 48% of Phil's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Mycond ships an update every 20 months, Phil fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
