# ThemePack vs iTheme

The clearest difference is rating: iTheme at 4.6 against ThemePack's 4.0. iTheme also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and review sentiment (80% vs 67%). ThemePack's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ratings volume (955 vs 25). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iTheme sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. ThemePack asks for nothing beyond the download.

iTheme holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ThemePack has 955 ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of ThemePack's written reviews are positive against 80% of iTheme's.

ThemePack ships an update every 6 weeks, iTheme fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
