# Starship vs GitSync.

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Starship at 100% against GitSync.'s 53%. Starship also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2). GitSync.'s advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (30 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Starship sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per year and GitSync. sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Starship holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GitSync. has 30 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Starship's written reviews are positive against 53% of GitSync.'s.

Starship ships an update every 2 months, GitSync. every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
