# TouchCab vs G

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TouchCab at 77% against G's 17%. TouchCab also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). G's advantage is price (Free vs $9.99) and rating (3.8 vs 2.1). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

G is free to download; TouchCab costs $9.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

G holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: G has 845 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of TouchCab's written reviews are positive against 17% of G's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
