# Primrows+ vs Nodes

The clearest difference is ads: Primrows+ at none against Nodes's shown. Primrows+ also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 66%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Nodes's advantage is ratings volume (392 vs 18) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Primrows+ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Nodes sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Primrows+ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nodes has 392 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Primrows+'s written reviews are positive against 66% of Nodes's.

Primrows+ ships an update every 2 months, Nodes every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
