# Cheers vs Challenge

The clearest difference is update cadence: Cheers at weekly against Challenge's every 4 months. Cheers also leads on ratings volume (16K vs 2). Challenge's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cheers sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Challenge sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Cheers against 5.0 for Challenge. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cheers has 16K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Cheers ships an update weekly, Challenge every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
