Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ANLIFE at 4.9 against 3's 3.4. ANLIFE also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15). 3's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and review sentiment (59% vs 50%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ANLIFE sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and 3 sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ANLIFE holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 201 and 69 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of ANLIFE's written reviews are positive against 59% of 3's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ANLIFE ships an update every 6 weeks, 3 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
