# Intent vs SayThis

The clearest difference is monetization model: SayThis at freemium against Intent's subscription. SayThis also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Intent's advantage is ratings volume (211 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Intent sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and SayThis sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SayThis holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Intent has 211 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Intent ships an update every 3 days, SayThis every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
