# Farcaster vs Thrilld

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Thrilld at 100% against Farcaster's 51%. Thrilld also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 16). Farcaster's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 4). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Farcaster sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Thrilld asks for nothing beyond the download.

Farcaster holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Farcaster has 1.1K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Farcaster's written reviews are positive against 100% of Thrilld's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Farcaster ships an update every 5 days, Thrilld every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
