Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Peatix holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Peatix has 22K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Peatix's written reviews are positive against 25% of Distributed Fire's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Peatix ships an update every 3 weeks, Distributed Fire every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and August 26, 2026 respectively.
