# AlertMedia vs Now Mobile

The clearest difference is review sentiment: AlertMedia at 87% against Now Mobile's 68%. AlertMedia also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). Now Mobile's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 135). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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

Now Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Now Mobile has 2.3K ratings behind it against 135, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of AlertMedia's written reviews are positive against 68% of Now Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

AlertMedia ships an update every 2 weeks, Now Mobile every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
