Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gazooks! at none against 7 Second Challenge's 4. Gazooks! also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 months). 7 Second Challenge's advantage is ratings volume (3.1K vs 113) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

7 Second Challenge holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 7 Second Challenge has 3.1K ratings behind it against 113, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of 7 Second Challenge's written reviews are positive against 91% of Gazooks!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

7 Second Challenge ships an update every 5 months, Gazooks! every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
