# Sober City vs Sober

The clearest difference is ads: Sober City at none against Sober's shown. Sober City also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (320 vs 18). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sober City sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Sober sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Sober City against 4.8 for Sober. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sober City has 320 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Sober City ships an update every 6 days, Sober every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
