# Handle Lab vs Project X

The clearest difference is ads: Handle Lab at none against Project X's shown. Handle Lab also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 58). Project X's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 57%) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Handle Lab sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Project X sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Handle Lab holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Handle Lab has 1.1K ratings behind it against 58, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Handle Lab's written reviews are positive against 80% of Project X's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Handle Lab ships an update every 2 days, Project X every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
