# INTERNI vs ICON Mag

The clearest difference is monetization model: ICON Mag at free with in-app purchases against INTERNI's subscription. ICON Mag also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). INTERNI's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 months vs every 49 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. INTERNI sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per 3 months and ICON Mag sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ICON Mag holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: INTERNI has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

INTERNI ships an update every 5 months, ICON Mag every 49 months. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
