# Frasses vs CoffeeBase

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Frasses at none against CoffeeBase's 11. Frasses also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). CoffeeBase's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CoffeeBase sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.29 per month. Frasses asks for nothing beyond the download.

Frasses ships an update every 5 months, CoffeeBase fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
