# QuickSource vs Gear

The clearest difference is rating: Gear at 4.0 against QuickSource's 3.3. Gear also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (245 vs 3). QuickSource's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.5). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QuickSource sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Gear sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Gear holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gear has 245 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 56% and 55% positive.

QuickSource ships an update monthly, Gear every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on August 14, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
