Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Figur at none against Paylign's shown. Figur also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Paylign's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 3.7). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Paylign holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 16 and 27 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Paylign's written reviews are positive against 27% of Figur's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Paylign ships an update every 2 months, Figur every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 13, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
