# Subscriptions vs MySub

The clearest difference is rating: Subscriptions at 4.7 against MySub's 4.0. Subscriptions also leads on ratings volume (169 vs 2) and review sentiment (87% vs 67%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Subscriptions sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year and MySub sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Subscriptions holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Subscriptions has 169 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 87% of Subscriptions's written reviews are positive against 67% of MySub's.

Subscriptions ships an update every 4 weeks, MySub fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
