# FactHub vs The Informant

The clearest difference is update cadence: FactHub at every 9 days against The Informant's every 3 months. FactHub also leads on ratings volume (12 vs 1). The Informant's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FactHub sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and The Informant sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

The Informant holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FactHub has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

FactHub ships an update every 9 days, The Informant every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
