# Newzik vs enScore

The clearest difference is update cadence: enScore at every 2 days against Newzik's every 3 weeks. enScore also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Newzik's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Newzik sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and enScore sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

enScore holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Newzik has 1.6K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Newzik ships an update every 3 weeks, enScore every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
