# Game ID vs Sequel

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Game ID at none against Sequel's 8. Game ID also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Sequel's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 5). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sequel sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Game ID asks for nothing beyond the download.

Game ID holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sequel has 1.3K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Game ID ships an update every 3 months, Sequel weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
