# PalmReadings vs GOAT

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PalmReadings at 63% against GOAT's 11%. PalmReadings also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). GOAT's advantage is rating (1.7 vs 1.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PalmReadings sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. GOAT asks for nothing beyond the download.

GOAT holds the better App Store score, 1.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GOAT has 106 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of PalmReadings's written reviews are positive against 11% of GOAT's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

PalmReadings ships an update every 4 months, GOAT every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
