# Filter Stack vs Glitch AI

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Filter Stack at 64% against Glitch AI's 0%. Filter Stack also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 14 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Filter Stack sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Glitch AI sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Filter Stack holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Filter Stack has 304 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of Filter Stack's written reviews are positive against 0% of Glitch AI's.

Filter Stack ships an update fortnightly, Glitch AI every 14 months. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
