# 7 Second Challenge vs Gazooks!

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 114). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 7 Second Challenge sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Gazooks! asks for nothing beyond the download.

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 114, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% 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.

7 Second Challenge ships an update every 5 months, Gazooks! every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
