# Seren vs Lettuce

Seren and Lettuce are too close to call on the numbers: across 6 compared parameters — price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.

Both are free to download. Seren sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Lettuce sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
