# Scale Down vs Scale Up

The clearest difference is update cadence: Scale Up at every 5 days against Scale Down's every 2 weeks. Scale Down's advantage is ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scale Down sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Scale Up sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. 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 Scale Down against 5.0 for Scale Up. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scale Down has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Scale Down ships an update every 2 weeks, Scale Up every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
