# Numbly vs Increment

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Numbly at none against Increment's 1. Numbly also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). Increment's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 4 days). On price and rating there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Increment sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Numbly asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Numbly against 5.0 for Increment. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Numbly has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
