# Google vs Fonts

The clearest difference is ads: Fonts at none against Google's shown. Fonts also leads on review sentiment (77% vs 59%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Google's advantage is ratings volume (5.3M vs 289K) and chart position (#1 vs #30). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Google sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.89 per month and Fonts sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Google against 4.5 for Fonts. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google has 5.3M ratings behind it against 289K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 59% of Google's written reviews are positive against 77% of Fonts's.

Google ships an update every 6 days, Fonts fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 9, 2026.
