# Fanpage vs Open Stage

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Fanpage at 100% against Open Stage's 43%. Fanpage also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Open Stage's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Fanpage ships an update every 2 months, Open Stage fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
