# Actions vs Punch

The clearest difference is monetization model: Punch at free with in-app purchases against Actions's subscription. Punch also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). Actions's advantage is ratings volume (9.8K vs 4) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Actions sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Punch sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Punch holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Actions has 9.8K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Actions ships an update fortnightly, Punch every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
