Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Perspective at none against Craft's 10. Perspective also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). Craft's advantage is ratings volume (6.6K vs 5) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Craft sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Perspective asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Perspective holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Craft has 6.6K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Perspective's written reviews are positive against 85% of Craft's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Perspective ships an update every 5 weeks, Craft every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
