Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: iZip at Free against SQLite's $2.99. iZip also leads on ratings volume (63K vs 1) and review sentiment (61% vs 36%). SQLite's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SQLite holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iZip has 63K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of iZip's written reviews are positive against 36% of SQLite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iZip ships an update every 6 weeks, SQLite monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
