# Happy vs Basepanel

The clearest difference is rating: Happy at 4.9 against Basepanel's 4.5. Happy also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Happy sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per month and Basepanel sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Happy holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Happy has 1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Happy ships an update weekly, Basepanel every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
