# SoFree vs Settle

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SoFree at none against Settle's 23. SoFree also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Settle's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (202 vs 15). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Settle sells 23 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. SoFree asks for nothing beyond the download.

SoFree holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Settle has 202 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of SoFree's written reviews are positive against 80% of Settle's.

SoFree ships an update every 3 months, Settle every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
