# Miles vs IntervalGuide

The clearest difference is ads: Miles at none against IntervalGuide's shown. IntervalGuide's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Miles sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and IntervalGuide sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Miles ships an update fortnightly, IntervalGuide every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
