# Sessionography vs Cruise FM

The clearest difference is monetization model: Cruise FM at free against Sessionography's free with in-app purchases. Cruise FM also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). Sessionography's advantage is ratings volume (23 vs 1) and device support (5 vs 2). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sessionography sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Cruise FM sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 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 Sessionography against 5.0 for Cruise FM. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sessionography has 23 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Sessionography ships an update weekly, Cruise FM every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
