# Al Jadeed vs إيلاف

The clearest difference is rating: إيلاف at 3.8 against Al Jadeed's 3.2. إيلاف also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4). Al Jadeed's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (28% vs 0%). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Al Jadeed sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. إيلاف asks for nothing beyond the download.

إيلاف holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Al Jadeed has 81 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of Al Jadeed's written reviews are positive against 0% of إيلاف's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Al Jadeed ships an update fortnightly, إيلاف every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
