# Multi vs Caffi

The clearest difference is monetization model: Caffi at free with in-app purchases against Multi's subscription. Caffi also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and review sentiment (77% vs 64%). Multi's advantage is ratings volume (624 vs 32) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Multi sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Caffi sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Caffi holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Multi has 624 ratings behind it against 32, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of Multi's written reviews are positive against 77% of Caffi's.

Multi ships an update every 2 weeks, Caffi every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
