# Regain vs Again

The clearest difference is rating: Again at 5.0 against Regain's 4.3. Again also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days) and device support (3 vs 1). Regain's advantage is ratings volume (29 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Regain sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Again sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Again holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Regain has 29 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Regain ships an update every 10 days, Again every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
