# ID vs Age Plus

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Age Plus at 100% against ID's 50%. Age Plus also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). ID's advantage is ratings volume (12 vs 2). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ID sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Age Plus asks for nothing beyond the download.

Age Plus holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ID has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of ID's written reviews are positive against 100% of Age Plus's.

ID ships an update every 13 months, Age Plus every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on July 8, 2026 and June 7, 2026 respectively.
