# Protocol AI vs Anchored

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Anchored at 100% against Protocol AI's 0%. Anchored also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). Protocol AI's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Protocol AI sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Anchored sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Anchored holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Anchored has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of Protocol AI's written reviews are positive against 100% of Anchored's.

Protocol AI ships an update every 4 days, Anchored fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
