# Playbook vs Altario

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Altario at 100% against Playbook's 61%. Altario also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Playbook's advantage is ratings volume (121 vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Playbook sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $18.00 per month and Altario sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $69.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Altario holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Playbook has 121 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 61% of Playbook's written reviews are positive against 100% of Altario's.

Playbook ships an update weekly, Altario every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
