# Quartz vs Leaf Light

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Leaf Light at none against Quartz's 8. Quartz's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (20 vs 2). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quartz sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Leaf Light asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Quartz against 5.0 for Leaf Light. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quartz has 20 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Quartz ships an update every 5 days, Leaf Light every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
