# Cumbersome vs Ledger

The clearest difference is monetization model: Cumbersome at free against Ledger's freemium. Cumbersome also leads on ratings volume (91 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). Ledger's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 88%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cumbersome sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Ledger sells 3 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 — 4.9 for Cumbersome against 5.0 for Ledger. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cumbersome has 91 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 88% of Cumbersome's written reviews are positive against 100% of Ledger's.

Cumbersome ships an update every 3 days, Ledger weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
