# Quartermaster vs Signl

The clearest difference is rating: Quartermaster at 5.0 against Signl's 4.5. Quartermaster also leads on ratings volume (30 vs 2) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). Signl's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quartermaster sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Signl sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Quartermaster holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quartermaster has 30 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Quartermaster ships an update fortnightly, Signl weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
