# Left vs 1% Better

The clearest difference is rating: 1% Better at 5.0 against Left's 4.6. 1% Better also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and monetization model (freemium vs paid). Left's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (472 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Left sells 28 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and 1% Better sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

1% Better holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Left has 472 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of Left's written reviews are positive against 100% of 1% Better's.

Left ships an update every 3 days, 1% Better every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
