# Credo vs Pelican+

The clearest difference is monetization model: Credo at free with in-app purchases against Pelican+'s subscription. Credo also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (584 vs 32). Pelican+'s advantage is review sentiment (85% vs 75%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Credo sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Pelican+ sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Credo has 584 ratings behind it against 32, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of Credo's written reviews are positive against 85% of Pelican+'s.

Credo ships an update every 2 weeks, Pelican+ every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
