# Glasses vs PageKey

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Glasses at 7.8K against PageKey's 10. PageKey's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Glasses sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and PageKey sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Glasses against 4.8 for PageKey. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Glasses has 7.8K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 93% of Glasses's written reviews are positive against 88% of PageKey's.

Glasses ships an update every 5 months, PageKey monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
