# INKBIRD vs Sup

The clearest difference is rating: INKBIRD at 3.7 against Sup's 2.4. INKBIRD also leads on ratings volume (7K vs 181) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). Sup's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, 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.

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 181, 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 11, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
