# Saaci vs Tended

The clearest difference is rating: Saaci at 5.0 against Tended's 4.3. Saaci also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Tended's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Saaci sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Tended sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Saaci holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tended has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Saaci ships an update monthly, Tended every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
