# 2nd try vs Sabrinalert

The clearest difference is monetization model: Sabrinalert at free with in-app purchases against 2nd try's subscription. Sabrinalert also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). 2nd try's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and ratings volume (7.1K vs 269). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 2nd try sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Sabrinalert sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

2nd try holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 2nd try has 7.1K ratings behind it against 269, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 99% of 2nd try's written reviews are positive against 86% of Sabrinalert's.

2nd try ships an update every 2 months, Sabrinalert every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
