# iDatabase vs Unhook

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Unhook at 100% against iDatabase's 52%. Unhook also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.4) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). iDatabase's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (511 vs 21). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iDatabase sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Unhook sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Unhook holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iDatabase has 511 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 52% of iDatabase's written reviews are positive against 100% of Unhook's.

iDatabase ships an update every 3 weeks, Unhook weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
