# Lava vs SATINÉ

The clearest difference is update cadence: SATINÉ at every 3 days against Lava's every 6 days. SATINÉ also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lava sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month and SATINÉ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lava ships an update every 6 days, SATINÉ every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
