# Aprovado vs Sum

The clearest difference is ads: Sum at none against Aprovado's shown. Sum also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 90%). Aprovado's advantage is ratings volume (34 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Aprovado sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Sum sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Aprovado against 5.0 for Sum. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Aprovado has 34 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 90% of Aprovado's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sum's.

Aprovado ships an update fortnightly, Sum every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
