# La Terminal vs DowntimeTruth

The clearest difference is update cadence: DowntimeTruth at every 3 days against La Terminal's every 3 weeks. DowntimeTruth also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). La Terminal's advantage is ratings volume (104 vs 2) and chart position (#86 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. La Terminal sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and DowntimeTruth sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
