# Trivia vs Big Potato

The clearest difference is ads: Big Potato at none against Trivia's shown. Big Potato also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months) and chart position (#128 vs unranked). Trivia's advantage is review sentiment (70% vs 50%) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Trivia sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Big Potato sells 17 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Trivia ships an update every 7 months, Big Potato fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
