# Frequency vs Unfolding

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Frequency at 2.4K against Unfolding's 25. Unfolding's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 85%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Frequency sells 23 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Unfolding sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Unfolding holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Frequency has 2.4K ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 85% of Frequency's written reviews are positive against 100% of Unfolding's.

Frequency ships an update every 2 weeks, Unfolding weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
