Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: GLAY at 5.0 against FTISLAND world's 3.0. GLAY also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). FTISLAND world's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (67% vs 49%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

GLAY holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 1 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of FTISLAND world's written reviews are positive against 49% of GLAY's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

FTISLAND world ships an update every 5 months, GLAY monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
