# Noa vs Blob

The clearest difference is monetization model: Noa at freemium against Blob's subscription. Noa also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Noa sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Blob sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Noa ships an update every 10 days, Blob weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
