# Labelary vs Backfeed

The clearest difference is monetization model: Backfeed at free with in-app purchases against Labelary's subscription. Labelary's advantage is ratings volume (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Labelary sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Backfeed sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 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 Labelary against 5.0 for Backfeed. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 1 respectively.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
