# SaveBox vs Carnival

The clearest difference is ads: SaveBox at none against Carnival's shown. Carnival's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SaveBox sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Carnival sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SaveBox ships an update fortnightly, Carnival every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
