# AeroPattern Pro vs Aerflow

The clearest difference is monetization model: Aerflow at freemium against AeroPattern Pro's subscription. Aerflow also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 weeks) and ratings volume (20 vs 2). AeroPattern Pro's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AeroPattern Pro sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Aerflow sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 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 AeroPattern Pro against 5.0 for Aerflow. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Aerflow has 20 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

AeroPattern Pro ships an update every 4 weeks, Aerflow every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
