# Synopsia vs GoG

The clearest difference is rating: GoG at 5.0 against Synopsia's 4.6. Synopsia's advantage is ratings volume (291 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Synopsia sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and GoG sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GoG holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Synopsia has 291 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Synopsia ships an update every 2 weeks, GoG every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
