# Palynx vs Plus 1

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Plus 1 at 140 against Palynx's 3. On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Palynx sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Plus 1 sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Palynx against 4.6 for Plus 1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Plus 1 has 140 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of Palynx's written reviews are positive against 94% of Plus 1's.

Palynx ships an update every 6 days, Plus 1 weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
