Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Accountable Self at 4.4 against Falco's 1.0. Accountable Self also leads on ratings volume (44 vs 3) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). Falco's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Accountable Self holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Accountable Self has 44 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Accountable Self's written reviews are positive against 79% of Falco's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Accountable Self ships an update every 6 days, Falco fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
