# Stabilize vs Flare

The clearest difference is ads: Flare at none against Stabilize's shown. Flare also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Stabilize's advantage is ratings volume (20 vs 4) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stabilize sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Flare sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Flare holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stabilize has 20 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Stabilize ships an update weekly, Flare every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
