# EasyMeasure vs Ruler®

EasyMeasure and Ruler® both sit at 4.2 stars, but that hides the real split: 67% of EasyMeasure's written reviews are positive against 22% of Ruler®'s. EasyMeasure also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Ruler®'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (35K vs 6.1K). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EasyMeasure sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Ruler® sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.2 for EasyMeasure against 4.3 for Ruler®. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ruler® has 35K ratings behind it against 6.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 67% of EasyMeasure's written reviews are positive against 22% of Ruler®'s.

EasyMeasure ships an update every 3 months, Ruler® every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 2, 2026.
