Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Socialite at 5.0 against Faxo's 4.6. Socialite also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Faxo's advantage is ratings volume (2K vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Faxo sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Socialite sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Socialite holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Faxo has 2K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Faxo ships an update every 3 days, Socialite fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
