# DHANAM vs Outside

The clearest difference is rating: Outside at 4.6 against DHANAM's 1.0. Outside also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months). DHANAM's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 22%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DHANAM sells 71 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per year and Outside sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $89.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Outside holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Outside has 1.8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of DHANAM's written reviews are positive against 22% of Outside's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

DHANAM ships an update every 8 months, Outside every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
