# LightPlan vs Berth

The clearest difference is update cadence: Berth at every 3 days against LightPlan's every 3 weeks. Berth also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). LightPlan's advantage is ratings volume (11 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LightPlan sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Berth sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Berth holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LightPlan has 11 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

LightPlan ships an update every 3 weeks, Berth every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
