# Whatssub vs Subtle

The clearest difference is rating: Subtle at 5.0 against Whatssub's 4.0. Subtle also leads on ads (none vs shown). Whatssub's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (21 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Whatssub sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Subtle sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Subtle holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Whatssub has 21 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Whatssub ships an update every 4 days, Subtle every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
