# Gauntlet vs TacRight

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gauntlet at none against TacRight's 4. Gauntlet also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (309 vs 4). TacRight's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 83%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TacRight sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Gauntlet asks for nothing beyond the download.

Gauntlet holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gauntlet has 309 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Gauntlet's written reviews are positive against 100% of TacRight's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Gauntlet ships an update weekly, TacRight every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
