# RAVEN Alerts vs SpeedMark

The clearest difference is update cadence: RAVEN Alerts at every 3 days against SpeedMark's every 6 weeks. RAVEN Alerts also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (13 vs 2). SpeedMark's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RAVEN Alerts sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and SpeedMark sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
