# Thiro vs Gika

The clearest difference is rating: Thiro at 4.8 against Gika's 3.5. Thiro also leads on ratings volume (49 vs 2) and device support (5 vs 3). Gika's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Thiro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Gika sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Thiro holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Thiro has 49 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Thiro ships an update every 5 weeks, Gika every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on August 28, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
