# The Cushion vs Dialed

The clearest difference is rating: Dialed at 5.0 against The Cushion's 3.5. Dialed also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). The Cushion's advantage is chart position (#197 vs unranked) and ratings volume (24 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Cushion sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $37.99 per month and Dialed sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dialed holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Cushion has 24 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

The Cushion ships an update every 2 months, Dialed fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 12, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
