# Congas vs Senstroke

The clearest difference is rating: Senstroke at 4.8 against Congas's 3.7. Congas's advantage is ratings volume (360 vs 5) and review sentiment (66% vs 55%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Congas sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Senstroke sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Senstroke holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Congas has 360 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Congas's written reviews are positive against 55% of Senstroke's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Congas ships an update every 2 months, Senstroke monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
