# Hallmark+ vs GFam+

The clearest difference is rating: Hallmark+ at 4.2 against GFam+'s 2.2. Hallmark+ also leads on ratings volume (12K vs 14) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). GFam+'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hallmark+ sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. GFam+ asks for nothing beyond the download.

Hallmark+ holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hallmark+ has 12K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 8% of Hallmark+'s written reviews are positive against 7% of GFam+'s.

Hallmark+ ships an update monthly, GFam+ every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and July 25, 2026 respectively.
