# Shadow vs Trybl

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Shadow at 41 against Trybl's 4. Trybl's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Shadow against 5.0 for Trybl. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shadow has 41 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Shadow ships an update fortnightly, Trybl weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
