# Paracute vs Line 1d

The clearest difference is price: Line 1d at Free against Paracute's $0.99. Line 1d also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 11 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Paracute's advantage is ratings volume (18 vs 2) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Line 1d is free to download; Paracute costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Line 1d holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Paracute has 18 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Paracute ships an update every 11 months, Line 1d weekly. Both last shipped on October 21, 2026.
