Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: INKBIRD at 3.7 against Sup's 2.4. INKBIRD also leads on ratings volume (7K vs 179) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). Sup's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
INKBIRD holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: INKBIRD has 7K ratings behind it against 179, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of INKBIRD's written reviews are positive against 30% of Sup's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
INKBIRD ships an update fortnightly, Sup monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
