# Endless Summer vs 9PM

Endless Summer and 9PM both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of 9PM's written reviews are positive against 80% of Endless Summer's. Endless Summer's advantage is ratings volume (25 vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 days). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Endless Summer sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and 9PM sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Endless Summer against 5.0 for 9PM. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Endless Summer has 25 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 80% of Endless Summer's written reviews are positive against 100% of 9PM's.

Endless Summer ships an update every 2 days, 9PM every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
