# THG Start vs Frequency Analyzer

The clearest difference is review sentiment: THG Start at 67% against Frequency Analyzer's 0%. THG Start also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 11) and device support (3 vs 1). Frequency Analyzer's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 5 months) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Frequency Analyzer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2.

Written reviews complicate that: 67% of THG Start's written reviews are positive against 0% of Frequency Analyzer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

THG Start ships an update every 5 months, Frequency Analyzer every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 16, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
