# LIFEHACKR® vs Basic Intake

The clearest difference is ads: Basic Intake at none against LIFEHACKR®'s shown. Basic Intake also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LIFEHACKR® sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and Basic Intake sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 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 — 5.0 for LIFEHACKR® against 5.0 for Basic Intake. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Basic Intake has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

LIFEHACKR® ships an update fortnightly, Basic Intake every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
