# DoubleList vs load.

The clearest difference is review sentiment: load. at 100% against DoubleList's 32%. load. also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). DoubleList's advantage is ratings volume (2.6K vs 2) and chart position (#164 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DoubleList sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $5.00 per month and load. sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

load. holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DoubleList has 2.6K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 32% of DoubleList's written reviews are positive against 100% of load.'s.

DoubleList ships an update every 3 weeks, load. every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
