# Sparrow vs ALOC App

The clearest difference is rating: ALOC App at 5.0 against Sparrow's 4.3. ALOC App also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). Sparrow's advantage is ratings volume (164 vs 6) and chart position (#196 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sparrow sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.00 per month and ALOC App sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ALOC App holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sparrow has 164 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Sparrow ships an update every 2 weeks, ALOC App every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
