# Fraksl vs Final Fractal

The clearest difference is rating: Fraksl at 4.8 against Final Fractal's 4.0. Fraksl also leads on ratings volume (625 vs 7) and review sentiment (88% vs 73%). Final Fractal's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 12 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fraksl sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and Final Fractal sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Fraksl holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fraksl has 625 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of Fraksl's written reviews are positive against 73% of Final Fractal's.

Fraksl ships an update every 12 months, Final Fractal every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
