# Farcaster vs GM10

Farcaster and GM10 both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 94% of GM10's written reviews are positive against 51% of Farcaster's. Farcaster's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 22). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Farcaster sells 16 one-off in-app purchases and GM10 sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Farcaster against 4.7 for GM10. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Farcaster has 1.1K ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 51% of Farcaster's written reviews are positive against 94% of GM10's.

Farcaster ships an update every 5 days, GM10 weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
