Both are free to download. Primal sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Gambr asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Primal against 5.0 for Gambr. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Primal has 937 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
