Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Forbes Magazine at none against Please Do It's shown. Forbes Magazine also leads on ratings volume (9.1K vs 12) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Please Do It's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (50% vs 41%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Forbes Magazine sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Please Do It sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $10.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Forbes Magazine holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Forbes Magazine has 9.1K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Forbes Magazine's written reviews are positive against 50% of Please Do It's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Forbes Magazine ships an update every 2 months, Please Do It weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
