# Love's Rewards vs Pilot

The clearest difference is rating: Pilot at 4.8 against Love's Rewards's 3.8. Pilot also leads on ratings volume (211K vs 5.9K) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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

Pilot holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pilot has 211K ratings behind it against 5.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of Love's Rewards's written reviews are positive against 34% of Pilot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Love's Rewards ships an update every 3 weeks, Pilot every 8 days. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
