# ID vs Polywatch

The clearest difference is rating: ID at 4.5 against Polywatch's 2.0. ID also leads on ratings volume (12 vs 2). Polywatch's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 13 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ID sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Polywatch sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ID holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.0. 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.

ID ships an update every 13 months, Polywatch monthly. The most recent releases landed on July 8, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
