# Recaps Pro vs 9PM

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Recaps Pro at 100% against 9PM's 50%. Recaps Pro also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). 9PM's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.4) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Recaps Pro sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and 9PM sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

9PM holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Recaps Pro has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Recaps Pro's written reviews are positive against 50% of 9PM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Recaps Pro ships an update fortnightly, 9PM weekly. Both last shipped on November 10, 2026.
