# Linus vs PEA Commons

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PEA Commons at none against Linus's 14. PEA Commons also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 68%). Linus's advantage is ratings volume (797 vs 25). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Linus sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per 3 months. PEA Commons asks for nothing beyond the download.

PEA Commons holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Linus has 797 ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 68% of Linus's written reviews are positive against 100% of PEA Commons's.

Linus ships an update every 11 days, PEA Commons every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
