# Seattle Incidents vs Aidlink

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Seattle Incidents at 100% against Aidlink's 33%. Seattle Incidents also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Aidlink's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Seattle Incidents sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per year and Aidlink sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Seattle Incidents holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Aidlink has 20 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Seattle Incidents's written reviews are positive against 33% of Aidlink's.

Seattle Incidents ships an update every 6 weeks, Aidlink every 4 days. Both last shipped on September 30, 2026.
