# EQ560 vs EQ Perfect

The clearest difference is rating: EQ Perfect at 4.7 against EQ560's 3.7. EQ Perfect also leads on review sentiment (85% vs 60%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EQ560 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and EQ Perfect sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

EQ Perfect holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EQ Perfect has 340 ratings behind it against 30, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of EQ560's written reviews are positive against 85% of EQ Perfect's.

EQ560 ships an update every 2 weeks, EQ Perfect every 4 days. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
