# Jointly vs Cupla

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cupla at 73% against Jointly's 33%. Cupla also leads on ratings volume (2.3K vs 2) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks). Jointly's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Jointly sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Cupla sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Jointly holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cupla has 2.3K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Jointly's written reviews are positive against 73% of Cupla's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Jointly ships an update every 5 weeks, Cupla every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
