# Faxo vs Threader

Faxo and Threader both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 81% of Faxo's written reviews are positive against 33% of Threader's. Faxo also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 149). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Faxo sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Threader sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 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 — 4.6 for Faxo against 4.7 for Threader. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Faxo has 1.8K ratings behind it against 149, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 81% of Faxo's written reviews are positive against 33% of Threader's.

Faxo ships an update every 2 days, Threader every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
