# Write vs Cift

The clearest difference is update cadence: Cift at fortnightly against Write's every 6 months. Cift also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (12 vs 2). Write's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Write sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Cift sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Write holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cift has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Write ships an update every 6 months, Cift fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
