# FALTER vs JETZT

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: JETZT at none against FALTER's 10. JETZT also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). FALTER's advantage is ratings volume (22 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FALTER sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. JETZT asks for nothing beyond the download.

JETZT holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FALTER has 22 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

FALTER ships an update every 3 months, JETZT every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
