# Spartan Forge vs LandApp

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Spartan Forge at 648 against LandApp's 49. Spartan Forge also leads on chart position (#14 vs #187). LandApp's advantage is review sentiment (95% vs 82%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spartan Forge sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and LandApp sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $6.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

LandApp holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spartan Forge has 648 ratings behind it against 49, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 82% of Spartan Forge's written reviews are positive against 95% of LandApp's.

Spartan Forge ships an update every 5 weeks, LandApp fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
