# Glove Power vs Punch Machine

The clearest difference is rating: Punch Machine at 4.6 against Glove Power's 4.0. Punch Machine also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (11K vs 827). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Glove Power sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Punch Machine sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Punch Machine holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Punch Machine has 11K ratings behind it against 827, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Glove Power's written reviews are positive against 23% of Punch Machine's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Glove Power ships an update every 2 months, Punch Machine weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
