# SonoStats vs Quartermaster

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SonoStats at none against Quartermaster's 6. SonoStats also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). Quartermaster's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and ratings volume (42 vs 5). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quartermaster sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. SonoStats asks for nothing beyond the download.

Quartermaster holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quartermaster has 42 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of SonoStats's written reviews are positive against 93% of Quartermaster's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SonoStats ships an update every 5 days, Quartermaster every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
