# Charging Animation vs Gravity

The clearest difference is monetization model: Charging Animation at free with in-app purchases against Gravity's subscription. Charging Animation also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (35% vs 25%). Gravity's advantage is ratings volume (35K vs 412). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Charging Animation sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Gravity sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Charging Animation against 4.5 for Gravity. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gravity has 35K ratings behind it against 412, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 35% of Charging Animation's written reviews are positive against 25% of Gravity's.

Charging Animation ships an update every 9 days, Gravity fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
