# Horoscopes vs Starwise

The clearest difference is rating: Horoscopes at 4.7 against Starwise's 4.0. Horoscopes also leads on ratings volume (3.9K vs 143). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Horoscopes sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Starwise sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Horoscopes holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Horoscopes has 3.9K ratings behind it against 143, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of Horoscopes's written reviews are positive against 66% of Starwise's.

Horoscopes ships an update every 6 weeks, Starwise every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
