# Side+ vs TheoryVerse

The clearest difference is rating: Side+ at 4.9 against TheoryVerse's 3.3. Side+ also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and ratings volume (7.1K vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Side+ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and TheoryVerse sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Side+ holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Side+ has 7.1K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Side+ ships an update every 6 weeks, TheoryVerse monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
