# Stop vs Consoly

The clearest difference is update cadence: Consoly at every 2 days against Stop's every 3 months. Consoly also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Stop's advantage is ratings volume (106K vs 3) and chart position (#102 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stop sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Consoly sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Consoly holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stop has 106K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Stop ships an update every 3 months, Consoly every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
