# Stakeout vs ShipFaced

The clearest difference is update cadence: ShipFaced at daily against Stakeout's every 2 months. ShipFaced also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Stakeout's advantage is ratings volume (6.8K vs 1) and chart position (#28 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stakeout sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and ShipFaced sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Stakeout against 5.0 for ShipFaced. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stakeout has 6.8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Stakeout ships an update every 2 months, ShipFaced daily. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
