# Sub vs SubSave

The clearest difference is ads: SubSave at none against Sub's shown. Sub's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sub sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and SubSave sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sub ships an update every 8 days, SubSave every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on May 28, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
