Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ABDi GateAccess holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ABDi GateAccess has 80K ratings behind it against 36, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of ABDi GateAccess's written reviews are positive against 81% of GoAccess's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ABDi GateAccess ships an update every 3 weeks, GoAccess monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
