# Unique vs Cogs

The clearest difference is rating: Unique at 4.8 against Cogs's 3.0. Unique also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and ratings volume (202 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Unique sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Cogs sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Unique holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Unique has 202 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of Unique's written reviews are positive against 71% of Cogs's.

Unique ships an update every 11 days, Cogs monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
