# Source Files vs Contribution Counts

The clearest difference is rating: Contribution Counts at 5.0 against Source Files's 4.5. Contribution Counts also leads on update cadence (daily vs weekly) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.2). Source Files's advantage is ratings volume (31 vs 1) and chart position (#161 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Source Files sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and Contribution Counts sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Contribution Counts holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Source Files has 31 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Source Files ships an update weekly, Contribution Counts daily. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
