# 3 vs Amitres

The clearest difference is rating: 3 at 3.4 against Amitres's 1.0. 3 also leads on ratings volume (69 vs 3). Amitres's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 3 sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and Amitres sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

3 holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 3 has 69 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

3 ships an update every 3 weeks, Amitres every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
