# Finder vs FirstFinder

The clearest difference is rating: FirstFinder at 5.0 against Finder's 4.2. FirstFinder also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 15 months). Finder's advantage is ratings volume (236 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Finder sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and FirstFinder sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

FirstFinder holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Finder has 236 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Finder ships an update every 15 months, FirstFinder daily. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
