# Below vs Baseline

The clearest difference is rating: Baseline at 5.0 against Below's 3.6. Baseline also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 11 days). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Below sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Baseline sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Baseline holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7 and 3 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of Below's written reviews are positive against 100% of Baseline's.

Below ships an update every 11 days, Baseline every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
