# Abide vs IQ Elevate

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Abide at none against IQ Elevate's 12. Abide also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (95% vs 75%). IQ Elevate's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, monetization model, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IQ Elevate sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Abide asks for nothing beyond the download.

Abide holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Abide has 13K ratings behind it against 2.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 95% of Abide's written reviews are positive against 75% of IQ Elevate's.

Abide ships an update fortnightly, IQ Elevate weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
