Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Gravity Helix at none against Swirl Down's shown. Gravity Helix also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). Swirl Down's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (59 vs 8). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Swirl Down sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Gravity Helix sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Gravity Helix holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Swirl Down has 59 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Swirl Down's written reviews are positive against 63% of Gravity Helix's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Swirl Down ships an update every 10 days, Gravity Helix monthly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
