# Date Draft vs Sequel

The clearest difference is rating: Date Draft at 5.0 against Sequel's 4.3. Date Draft also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Sequel's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (260 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Date Draft sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month and Sequel sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Date Draft holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sequel has 260 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Date Draft ships an update every 3 months, Sequel every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on August 30, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
