Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Asterhythm at 100% against Aeclis's 57%. Asterhythm also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.0) and monetization model (free vs freemium). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Asterhythm sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Aeclis sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Asterhythm holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Asterhythm has 19 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Asterhythm's written reviews are positive against 57% of Aeclis's.
Asterhythm ships an update weekly, Aeclis every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
