# Ocean vs The Uplift

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ocean at none against The Uplift's 1. Ocean also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 4) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Uplift sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $8.99 per month. Ocean asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Ocean against 5.0 for The Uplift. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ocean has 1.1K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
