Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 101 before one at 89% against Solid's 11%. 101 before one also leads on chart position (#65 vs unranked). Solid's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Solid sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and 101 before one sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Solid holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 104 and 95 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of Solid's written reviews are positive against 89% of 101 before one's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Solid ships an update every 2 days, 101 before one weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
