# OptionPosition+ vs Option Explorer

The clearest difference is rating: Option Explorer at 4.7 against OptionPosition+'s 3.8. Option Explorer also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (156 vs 21). OptionPosition+'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OptionPosition+ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Option Explorer sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Option Explorer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Option Explorer has 156 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of OptionPosition+'s written reviews are positive against 92% of Option Explorer's.

OptionPosition+ ships an update every 5 weeks, Option Explorer every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 5, 2026 respectively.
