# Thumsters vs Peeknest

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Peeknest at none against Thumsters's 7. Thumsters's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (874 vs 185). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Thumsters sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Peeknest asks for nothing beyond the download.

Thumsters holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 874 and 185 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Thumsters's written reviews are positive against 71% of Peeknest's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
