# Relief vs Postdrome

The clearest difference is rating: Postdrome at 5.0 against Relief's 4.6. Relief's advantage is ratings volume (265 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Relief sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Postdrome sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Postdrome holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Relief has 265 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Relief ships an update weekly, Postdrome every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
