# Starly vs la pratica

The clearest difference is monetization model: Starly at free against la pratica's free with in-app purchases. Starly also leads on ratings volume (24 vs 2) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Starly sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and la pratica sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 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 Starly against 5.0 for la pratica. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Starly has 24 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Starly ships an update every 10 days, la pratica every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
