# Subscription Manager vs NotSubs

The clearest difference is update cadence: Subscription Manager at every 10 days against NotSubs's every 2 months. Subscription Manager also leads on ratings volume (128 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.2). NotSubs's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 81%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Subscription Manager sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year and NotSubs sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Subscription Manager has 128 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
