Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: SubPlan at 7 against IKU Survivor's 1. IKU Survivor's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. IKU Survivor sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per year and SubPlan 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 IKU Survivor against 5.0 for SubPlan. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SubPlan has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
IKU Survivor ships an update every 3 days, SubPlan every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
