# Picidae vs AIR

The clearest difference is rating: AIR at 2.3 against Picidae's 1.0. AIR also leads on ratings volume (61 vs 2) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). Picidae's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

AIR holds the better App Store score, 2.3 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AIR has 61 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Picidae ships an update every 2 months, AIR every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
