# copycopy vs Afterthought

The clearest difference is ratings volume: copycopy at 15 against Afterthought's 1. Afterthought's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 11 days). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. copycopy sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Afterthought sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for copycopy against 5.0 for Afterthought. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: copycopy has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

copycopy ships an update every 11 days, Afterthought every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
