# Subscriptions vs Subscribed

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Subscriptions at 172 against Subscribed's 3. Subscriptions also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Subscribed's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). 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 Subscribed sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.19 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Subscribed holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Subscriptions has 172 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Subscriptions ships an update every 4 weeks, Subscribed every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
