# DetoxMe vs Trace

The clearest difference is monetization model: Trace at free with in-app purchases against DetoxMe's subscription. Trace also leads on ratings volume (28 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). DetoxMe's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DetoxMe sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Trace sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DetoxMe holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Trace has 28 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly daily. The most recent releases landed on June 6, 2026 and August 13, 2026 respectively.
