# Subscriptions vs Whatssub

The clearest difference is rating: Subscriptions at 4.7 against Whatssub's 4.0. Subscriptions also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (86% vs 71%). Whatssub's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 weeks) and iOS requirement (14.2 vs 16.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Subscriptions sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year and Whatssub sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 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 172 ratings behind it against 21, 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 71% of Whatssub's.

Subscriptions ships an update every 4 weeks, Whatssub every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
