# iDatabase vs SaveIt

The clearest difference is rating: SaveIt at 5.0 against iDatabase's 4.4. SaveIt also leads on monetization model (free vs paid) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). iDatabase's advantage is ratings volume (510 vs 2) and iOS requirement (18.6 vs 26.1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iDatabase sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and SaveIt sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SaveIt holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iDatabase has 510 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

iDatabase ships an update fortnightly, SaveIt every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
