# RepCount vs FORGE

The clearest difference is ratings volume: RepCount at 13K against FORGE's 3. FORGE's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RepCount sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and FORGE sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for RepCount against 5.0 for FORGE. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RepCount has 13K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 93% of RepCount's written reviews are positive against 100% of FORGE's.

RepCount ships an update weekly, FORGE every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
