# Causes vs iSideWith

The clearest difference is rating: Causes at 4.4 against iSideWith's 2.7. Causes also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (4.2K vs 29). iSideWith's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 weeks) and chart position (#110 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Causes holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Causes has 4.2K ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 29% of Causes's written reviews are positive against 24% of iSideWith's.

Causes ships an update every 5 weeks, iSideWith every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
