# Provision vs AutoAlert

The clearest difference is rating: AutoAlert at 4.1 against Provision's 2.9. AutoAlert also leads on monetization model (free vs subscription). Provision's advantage is ratings volume (454 vs 39). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

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

AutoAlert holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Provision has 454 ratings behind it against 39, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of Provision's written reviews are positive against 20% of AutoAlert's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Provision ships an update fortnightly, AutoAlert every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
