# Parrot vs PubReady

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Parrot at 19K against PubReady's 4. Parrot also leads on chart position (#55 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Parrot sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and PubReady sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 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 — 4.7 for Parrot against 4.8 for PubReady. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Parrot has 19K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Parrot ships an update weekly, PubReady every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
