Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Gesture Recognizer Fun at Free against Windosill's $3.99. Gesture Recognizer Fun also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 90%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.6). Windosill's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (66 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Gesture Recognizer Fun is free to download; Windosill costs $3.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Windosill holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Windosill has 66 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Windosill's written reviews are positive against 100% of Gesture Recognizer Fun's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Windosill ships an update every 2 months, Gesture Recognizer Fun every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
