# PitchMe vs EarForge

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PitchMe at 100% against EarForge's 63%. EarForge's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (294 vs 20). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PitchMe sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and EarForge sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

EarForge holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EarForge has 294 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of PitchMe's written reviews are positive against 63% of EarForge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

PitchMe ships an update every 2 months, EarForge every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
