# Plus 1 vs XXTRA Seat

The clearest difference is monetization model: XXTRA Seat at freemium against Plus 1's subscription. Plus 1's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and review sentiment (94% vs 75%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Plus 1 sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and XXTRA Seat sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Plus 1 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Plus 1 has 140 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 94% of Plus 1's written reviews are positive against 75% of XXTRA Seat's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
