# Ultra Blade vs Letter Launch

The clearest difference is rating: Ultra Blade at 4.5 against Letter Launch's 4.0. Ultra Blade also leads on ratings volume (78 vs 4) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Letter Launch's advantage is review sentiment (90% vs 68%) and price ($0.99 vs $3.49). On ads, in-app purchases, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.

Ultra Blade costs $3.49 and Letter Launch $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Ultra Blade holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ultra Blade has 78 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Ultra Blade's written reviews are positive against 90% of Letter Launch's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Ultra Blade ships an update weekly, Letter Launch every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
