# GetCost vs U

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: U at none against GetCost's 10. U also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). GetCost's advantage is ratings volume (604 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GetCost sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. U asks for nothing beyond the download.

U holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GetCost has 604 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of GetCost's written reviews are positive against 100% of U's.

GetCost ships an update every 3 weeks, U every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
