# Subscriptions vs Assure

The clearest difference is update cadence: Assure at daily against Subscriptions's every 4 weeks. Assure also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 86%). Subscriptions's advantage is ratings volume (169 vs 8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Subscriptions sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year and Assure sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Assure holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Subscriptions has 169 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 86% of Subscriptions's written reviews are positive against 100% of Assure's.

Subscriptions ships an update every 4 weeks, Assure daily. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
