Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: FortegraPerks at free against SBN NOW's free with in-app purchases. FortegraPerks also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). SBN NOW's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 10). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
FortegraPerks holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SBN NOW has 1.4K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two.
SBN NOW ships an update every 6 weeks, FortegraPerks every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
