Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: purchasing.ai at 100% against Forms's 56%. purchasing.ai also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Forms's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.4) and ratings volume (86 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Forms sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and purchasing.ai sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $99.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Forms holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Forms has 86 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Forms's written reviews are positive against 100% of purchasing.ai's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Forms ships an update every 5 months, purchasing.ai every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
