# Facebook vs 即刻App

The clearest difference is ads: 即刻App at none against Facebook's shown. 即刻App also leads on review sentiment (61% vs 40%). Facebook's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (28M vs 2.2K). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Facebook sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and 即刻App sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Facebook against 4.6 for 即刻App. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Facebook has 28M ratings behind it against 2.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 40% of Facebook's written reviews are positive against 61% of 即刻App's.

Facebook ships an update weekly, 即刻App every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
