# Setgraph vs FORGE

The clearest difference is ads: FORGE at none against Setgraph's shown. FORGE also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Setgraph's advantage is ratings volume (6.1K vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Setgraph sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and FORGE sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

FORGE holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Setgraph has 6.1K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of Setgraph's written reviews are positive against 100% of FORGE's.

Setgraph ships an update every 3 weeks, FORGE every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
