# Triage 2 vs Ocean

The clearest difference is rating: Ocean at 5.0 against Triage 2's 4.4. Ocean also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months). Triage 2's advantage is ratings volume (70 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Triage 2 sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per year and Ocean sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Ocean holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Triage 2 has 70 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Triage 2 ships an update every 2 months, Ocean every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on July 7, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
