# iZip.com vs Localhost Master

The clearest difference is rating: Localhost Master at 5.0 against iZip.com's 2.8. Localhost Master also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). iZip.com's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (40 vs 1). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Localhost Master sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month. iZip.com asks for nothing beyond the download.

Localhost Master holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iZip.com has 40 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

iZip.com ships an update every 3 weeks, Localhost Master every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on August 14, 2026 and July 6, 2026 respectively.
