# Christie's vs Piguet

The clearest difference is rating: Piguet at 4.0 against Christie's's 2.6. Piguet also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Christie's's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 14 months) and ratings volume (57 vs 6). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Piguet holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Christie's has 57 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 36% of Christie's's written reviews are positive against 50% of Piguet's.

Christie's ships an update every 2 months, Piguet every 14 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
