Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: GitHub at 39K against Juneau's 1. GitHub also leads on chart position (#2 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.5). Juneau's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. GitHub sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Juneau sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Juneau holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GitHub has 39K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
GitHub ships an update weekly, Juneau every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
