# Outside vs KeepSaiQ

The clearest difference is review sentiment: KeepSaiQ at 100% against Outside's 52%. KeepSaiQ also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Outside's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (2.8K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Outside sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and KeepSaiQ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

KeepSaiQ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Outside has 2.8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 52% of Outside's written reviews are positive against 100% of KeepSaiQ's.

Outside ships an update every 6 days, KeepSaiQ fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
