# Upshot vs Mely GLP

The clearest difference is ads: Upshot at none against Mely GLP's shown. Mely GLP's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Upshot sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Mely GLP sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 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 Upshot against 5.0 for Mely GLP. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mely GLP has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Upshot ships an update every 9 days, Mely GLP every 3 days. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
