# LW vs GX

The clearest difference is review sentiment: LW at 32% against GX's 0%. LW also leads on ratings volume (16 vs 3). GX's advantage is rating (3.7 vs 3.4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

GX holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LW has 16 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of LW's written reviews are positive against 0% of GX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

LW ships an update monthly, GX every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and July 5, 2026 respectively.
