# Port22 vs Nowdex

The clearest difference is rating: Port22 at 5.0 against Nowdex's 4.6. Nowdex's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Port22 sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per year and Nowdex sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Port22 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nowdex has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Port22 ships an update every 2 weeks, Nowdex every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
