# Sequel vs Phridge

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Sequel at 1.3K against Phridge's 13. Sequel also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (18.5 vs 26.6). Phridge's advantage is update cadence (daily vs weekly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sequel sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Phridge sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Sequel against 4.8 for Phridge. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sequel has 1.3K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Sequel ships an update weekly, Phridge daily. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
