# Looking4Cache Pro vs Cachly

The clearest difference is price: Looking4Cache Pro at Free against Cachly's $4.99. Looking4Cache Pro also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 80%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Cachly's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (3.7K vs 17). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Looking4Cache Pro is free to download; Cachly costs $4.99 up front. Looking4Cache Pro sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Cachly sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cachly holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cachly has 3.7K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Looking4Cache Pro's written reviews are positive against 80% of Cachly's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Looking4Cache Pro ships an update every 2 months, Cachly every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 1, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
