# Method vs APX

The clearest difference is rating: Method at 5.0 against APX's 4.2. Method also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). APX's advantage is ratings volume (12 vs 1) and iOS requirement (18.4 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Method sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and APX sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Method holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: APX has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Method ships an update every 5 days, APX fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
