# Compass vs SubManager

The clearest difference is rating: SubManager at 4.8 against Compass's 4.0. SubManager also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 38 months) and ratings volume (65 vs 1). Compass's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.4). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Compass sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and SubManager sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SubManager holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SubManager has 65 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Compass's written reviews are positive against 97% of SubManager's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Compass ships an update every 38 months, SubManager every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
