# nectar vs Known

The clearest difference is ads: Known at none against nectar's shown. Known also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). nectar's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. nectar sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Known sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Known holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Known has 2.4K ratings behind it against 187, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 43% of nectar's written reviews are positive against 59% of Known's.

nectar ships an update every 3 weeks, Known every 4 days. Both last shipped on November 8, 2026.
