# Hot 8 On vs The Glow Method

The clearest difference is update cadence: The Glow Method at every 5 weeks against Hot 8 On's every 4 months. The Glow Method also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and ratings volume (63 vs 19). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hot 8 On sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per month and The Glow Method sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $34.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

The Glow Method holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 19 and 63 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Hot 8 On's written reviews are positive against 88% of The Glow Method's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hot 8 On ships an update every 4 months, The Glow Method every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
