# Zempy vs SugarShift

The clearest difference is rating: SugarShift at 5.0 against Zempy's 4.2. SugarShift also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). Zempy's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (38 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Zempy sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and SugarShift sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SugarShift holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zempy has 38 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Zempy ships an update every 3 days, SugarShift every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
