Both are free to download. Balance sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Ghostemane Pentacles asks for nothing beyond the download.
Ghostemane Pentacles holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ghostemane Pentacles has 82 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Balance's written reviews are positive against 80% of Ghostemane Pentacles's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Balance ships an update every 3 months, Ghostemane Pentacles every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
