# Subtext vs Ditto

The clearest difference is ads: Ditto at none against Subtext's shown. Ditto also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). Subtext's advantage is ratings volume (21 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Subtext sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Ditto sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. 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 Subtext against 5.0 for Ditto. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Subtext has 21 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Subtext ships an update fortnightly, Ditto every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
