# Consequence vs Play

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Consequence at none against Play's 3. Consequence also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 62%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Play's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (510 vs 9). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Play sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Consequence asks for nothing beyond the download.

Play holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Play has 510 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Consequence's written reviews are positive against 62% of Play's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Consequence ships an update every 3 months, Play weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
