# Mares App vs EveryDive

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: EveryDive at none against Mares App's 8. EveryDive also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Mares App's advantage is ratings volume (190 vs 3) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

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

EveryDive holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mares App has 190 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Mares App ships an update every 4 weeks, EveryDive every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
