# ServerBox vs Locally

The clearest difference is ratings volume: ServerBox at 91 against Locally's 1. ServerBox also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly) and device support (5 vs 3). 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 ServerBox against 5.0 for Locally. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ServerBox has 91 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

ServerBox ships an update fortnightly, Locally monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
