# Gauth vs PicSolve

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Gauth at 77% against PicSolve's 39%. Gauth also leads on ratings volume (1.5M vs 7.5K) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gauth sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and PicSolve sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Gauth holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gauth has 1.5M ratings behind it against 7.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 77% of Gauth's written reviews are positive against 39% of PicSolve's.

Gauth ships an update every 10 days, PicSolve every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
