Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: GWS&A at 100% against MassMutual's 20%. GWS&A also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). MassMutual's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (6K vs 4). On price, update cadence, 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MassMutual holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MassMutual has 6K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of MassMutual's written reviews are positive against 100% of GWS&A's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MassMutual ships an update monthly, GWS&A every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
