# Pack Pride vs GoHeels

The clearest difference is rating: GoHeels at 4.7 against Pack Pride's 3.1. GoHeels also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (1.9K vs 17). Pack Pride's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GoHeels sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Pack Pride asks for nothing beyond the download.

GoHeels holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GoHeels has 1.9K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Pack Pride's written reviews are positive against 36% of GoHeels's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Pack Pride ships an update every 13 months, GoHeels monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
