# LendingTree vs PolicyZen

LendingTree and PolicyZen both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of PolicyZen's written reviews are positive against 50% of LendingTree's. PolicyZen also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.5). LendingTree's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (38K vs 2). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PolicyZen sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. LendingTree asks for nothing beyond the download.

PolicyZen holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LendingTree has 38K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of LendingTree's written reviews are positive against 100% of PolicyZen's.

LendingTree ships an update fortnightly, PolicyZen every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
