# Floaty vs Shot Pattern

The clearest difference is rating: Shot Pattern at 4.8 against Floaty's 4.1. Shot Pattern also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (2.1K vs 27). Floaty's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and review sentiment (79% vs 67%). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shot Pattern sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. Floaty asks for nothing beyond the download.

Shot Pattern holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shot Pattern has 2.1K ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Floaty's written reviews are positive against 67% of Shot Pattern's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Floaty ships an update monthly, Shot Pattern every 3 days. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
