# Plato vs Goated

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Goated at none against Plato's 10. Goated also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 41%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 8 days). Plato's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (288K vs 29). On price, rating, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Plato sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Goated asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Plato against 4.7 for Goated. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Plato has 288K ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 41% of Plato's written reviews are positive against 75% of Goated's.

Plato ships an update every 8 days, Goated every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
