# Gear vs SHURABA

The clearest difference is ads: Gear at none against SHURABA's shown. Gear also leads on iOS requirement (16.1 vs 26.5). SHURABA's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gear sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and SHURABA sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Gear ships an update monthly, SHURABA fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
