# Peech vs Summary

Peech and Summary both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 82% of Summary's written reviews are positive against 44% of Peech's. Summary also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). Peech's advantage is ratings volume (8.6K vs 40) and chart position (#131 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Peech sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Summary sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Peech against 4.5 for Summary. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Peech has 8.6K ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 44% of Peech's written reviews are positive against 82% of Summary's.

Peech ships an update monthly, Summary every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
