# Half Staff App vs EveryCord

The clearest difference is rating: EveryCord at 4.2 against Half Staff App's 3.4. EveryCord also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 98). Half Staff App's advantage is review sentiment (63% vs 30%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Half Staff App sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and EveryCord sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

EveryCord holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EveryCord has 2.3K ratings behind it against 98, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Half Staff App's written reviews are positive against 30% of EveryCord's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Half Staff App ships an update every 11 months, EveryCord every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
