# Forward vs neurolist

The clearest difference is rating: neurolist at 4.8 against Forward's 4.2. neurolist also leads on ratings volume (917 vs 5). Forward's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 60%) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Forward sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and neurolist sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

neurolist holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: neurolist has 917 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Forward's written reviews are positive against 60% of neurolist's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Forward ships an update fortnightly, neurolist every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
