# Make vs KeepUply

The clearest difference is ads: KeepUply at none against Make's shown. KeepUply also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Make's advantage is ratings volume (198 vs 5) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Make sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per year and KeepUply sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

KeepUply holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Make has 198 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Make ships an update every 4 months, KeepUply every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and June 9, 2026 respectively.
