# Criticless vs LaughTrak

The clearest difference is ads: LaughTrak at none against Criticless's shown. LaughTrak also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Criticless's advantage is ratings volume (44 vs 2) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 26.2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Criticless sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and LaughTrak sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

LaughTrak holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Criticless has 44 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Criticless ships an update every 2 weeks, LaughTrak every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
