Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: LawStack at 80% against iFAR's 22%. LawStack also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.4) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 11 months). iFAR's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. LawStack sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. iFAR asks for nothing beyond the download.
LawStack holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LawStack has 379 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of LawStack's written reviews are positive against 22% of iFAR's.
LawStack ships an update fortnightly, iFAR every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
