# Side Number vs Cogent Analytics

The clearest difference is rating: Cogent Analytics at 5.0 against Side Number's 4.5. Cogent Analytics also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 10 days). Side Number's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Side Number sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Cogent Analytics sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cogent Analytics holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Side Number has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Side Number ships an update every 10 days, Cogent Analytics every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
