# AlertMedia vs Envoy

The clearest difference is review sentiment: AlertMedia at 87% against Envoy's 18%. AlertMedia also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Envoy's advantage is ratings volume (18K vs 135) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

Envoy holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Envoy has 18K 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 18% of Envoy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

AlertMedia ships an update fortnightly, Envoy weekly. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
