# Portal vs Phridge

The clearest difference is update cadence: Phridge at daily against Portal's every 9 days. Phridge also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Portal's advantage is ratings volume (69 vs 13) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Portal sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Phridge sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Phridge holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Portal has 69 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Portal ships an update every 9 days, Phridge daily. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
