# Heja vs GameChanger

The clearest difference is ratings volume: GameChanger at 918K against Heja's 24K. GameChanger also leads on chart position (#3 vs #87). Heja's advantage is review sentiment (84% vs 65%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Heja sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and GameChanger sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Heja against 4.9 for GameChanger. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GameChanger has 918K ratings behind it against 24K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 84% of Heja's written reviews are positive against 65% of GameChanger's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
