# Confide vs Lound

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lound at 100% against Confide's 33%. Lound also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Confide's advantage is ratings volume (8.2K vs 12). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Confide sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Lound sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $49.99 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lound holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Confide has 8.2K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of Confide's written reviews are positive against 100% of Lound's.

Confide ships an update every 6 days, Lound weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
