# GoCanvas vs Forms

The clearest difference is update cadence: GoCanvas at fortnightly against Forms's every 5 months. GoCanvas also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 86). Forms's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GoCanvas sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month and Forms sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
