# Narde vs Сека

The clearest difference is ads: Сека at none against Narde's shown. Сека also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Narde's advantage is review sentiment (51% vs 34%) and ratings volume (362 vs 24). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Narde sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Сека sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Сека holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Narde has 362 ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Narde's written reviews are positive against 34% of Сека's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Narde ships an update every 2 months, Сека every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
