# Concepts vs Graph Editor

The clearest difference is rating: Concepts at 4.7 against Graph Editor's 2.8. Concepts also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (27K vs 4). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Concepts sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Graph Editor sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Concepts holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Concepts has 27K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Concepts's written reviews are positive against 82% of Graph Editor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Concepts ships an update fortnightly, Graph Editor every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
