# Inklingo vs Stories

The clearest difference is ads: Stories at none against Inklingo's shown. Stories also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). Inklingo's advantage is ratings volume (25 vs 1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Inklingo sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and Stories sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Inklingo against 5.0 for Stories. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Inklingo has 25 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Inklingo ships an update fortnightly, Stories every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
