# Starwise vs Pawsigns

The clearest difference is rating: Pawsigns at 5.0 against Starwise's 4.0. Pawsigns also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (80% vs 66%). Starwise's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (143 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Starwise sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Pawsigns sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pawsigns holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Starwise has 143 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 66% of Starwise's written reviews are positive against 80% of Pawsigns's.

Starwise ships an update every 5 weeks, Pawsigns every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
