# Advent App vs MyAdvent

The clearest difference is rating: Advent App at 4.6 against MyAdvent's 3.8. Advent App also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (75% vs 53%). MyAdvent's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Advent App sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and MyAdvent sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Advent App holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Advent App has 226 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Advent App's written reviews are positive against 53% of MyAdvent's.

Advent App ships an update every 2 weeks, MyAdvent every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
