# Commit vs MadStax

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MadStax at 100% against Commit's 60%. MadStax also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Commit's advantage is ratings volume (42 vs 3) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Commit sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and MadStax sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MadStax holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Commit has 42 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of Commit's written reviews are positive against 100% of MadStax's.

Commit ships an update every 2 weeks, MadStax monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
