# ID Assistant vs API Bot

The clearest difference is ads: ID Assistant at none against API Bot's shown. ID Assistant also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). API Bot's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ID Assistant sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and API Bot sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for ID Assistant against 4.9 for API Bot. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7 and 17 respectively. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

ID Assistant ships an update every 2 months, API Bot every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on September 30, 2026.
