# Rumor vs Soapbox

The clearest difference is rating: Soapbox at 5.0 against Rumor's 3.5. Soapbox also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 74%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). Rumor's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Soapbox sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Rumor asks for nothing beyond the download.
