# iGeneration vs Mac4Ever

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mac4Ever at none against iGeneration's 2. Mac4Ever also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 55%) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). iGeneration's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (54 vs 9). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iGeneration sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Mac4Ever asks for nothing beyond the download.

Mac4Ever holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iGeneration has 54 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 55% of iGeneration's written reviews are positive against 75% of Mac4Ever's.

iGeneration ships an update every 4 days, Mac4Ever monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
