# Edge magazine vs Sequel

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sequel at 93% against Edge magazine's 45%. Sequel also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Edge magazine's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Edge magazine sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Sequel sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sequel holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sequel has 1.3K ratings behind it against 134, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 45% of Edge magazine's written reviews are positive against 93% of Sequel's.
