# Regain vs Konvo

The clearest difference is monetization model: Regain at freemium against Konvo's subscription. Konvo's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (58% vs 40%). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Regain sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Konvo sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Regain ships an update every 5 days, Konvo every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
