# CFB Live vs Play Up Next

The clearest difference is update cadence: CFB Live at every 5 days against Play Up Next's every 3 weeks. CFB Live also leads on ratings volume (22 vs 1) and device support (5 vs 3). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CFB Live sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per year and Play Up Next sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $14.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
