# Paladin vs Soch

The clearest difference is rating: Paladin at 4.6 against Soch's 3.5. Paladin also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (25K vs 2). Soch's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (50% vs 20%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Paladin sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Soch asks for nothing beyond the download.

Paladin holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Paladin has 25K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Paladin's written reviews are positive against 50% of Soch's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Paladin ships an update every 6 days, Soch every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
