# brrr vs DowntimeTruth

The clearest difference is rating: DowntimeTruth at 5.0 against brrr's 4.5. DowntimeTruth also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). brrr's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and chart position (#114 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. brrr sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and DowntimeTruth sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DowntimeTruth holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: brrr has 15 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

brrr ships an update every 2 weeks, DowntimeTruth every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
