# LaunchBuddy vs The Devs To

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Devs To at none against LaunchBuddy's 10. The Devs To also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). LaunchBuddy's advantage is ratings volume (107 vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LaunchBuddy sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. The Devs To asks for nothing beyond the download.

The Devs To holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LaunchBuddy has 107 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

LaunchBuddy ships an update every 5 weeks, The Devs To every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and July 10, 2026 respectively.
