# Margins vs Next Page

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Margins at 20K against Next Page's 6. Margins also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days) and chart position (#57 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Margins sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Next Page sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 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 Margins against 5.0 for Next Page. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Margins has 20K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 95% of Margins's written reviews are positive against 100% of Next Page's.

Margins ships an update every 4 days, Next Page every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
