# Later vs SobrMate

The clearest difference is rating: Later at 5.0 against SobrMate's 4.4. SobrMate's advantage is ratings volume (18 vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Later sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and SobrMate sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Later holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SobrMate has 18 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Later ships an update every 6 days, SobrMate every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
