# Soliom Pro vs Birdfy

The clearest difference is rating: Birdfy at 4.1 against Soliom Pro's 3.7. Birdfy also leads on review sentiment (49% vs 18%) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). Soliom Pro's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Soliom Pro sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Birdfy sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $2.39 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Birdfy holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Birdfy has 3.8K ratings behind it against 89, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 18% of Soliom Pro's written reviews are positive against 49% of Birdfy's.

Soliom Pro ships an update every 2 months, Birdfy every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
