# MIDDL vs SideAction Bet

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MIDDL at none against SideAction Bet's 4. MIDDL also leads on iOS requirement (13.1 vs 15.0). SideAction Bet's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
