# Lifetime vs Year View

Lifetime and Year View both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Year View's written reviews are positive against 25% of Lifetime's. Year View also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and update cadence (daily vs every 5 days). Lifetime's advantage is price (Free vs $0.99) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On rating, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Lifetime is free to download; Year View costs $0.99 up front. Lifetime sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Year View asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Lifetime against 5.0 for Year View. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lifetime has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
