# Partiful vs Sow

The clearest difference is ads: Partiful at none against Sow's shown. Partiful also leads on ratings volume (285K vs 23) and chart position (#3 vs unranked). Sow's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 87%). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Partiful sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Sow sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 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 — 5.0 for Partiful against 5.0 for Sow. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Partiful has 285K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 87% of Partiful's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sow's.

Partiful ships an update every 6 days, Sow weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
