# ProgressBar95 vs Whack!

The clearest difference is rating: ProgressBar95 at 4.8 against Whack!'s 3.0. ProgressBar95 also leads on ratings volume (3K vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Whack!'s advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ProgressBar95 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Whack! sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ProgressBar95 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ProgressBar95 has 3K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of ProgressBar95's written reviews are positive against 100% of Whack!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ProgressBar95 ships an update every 2 months, Whack! every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
