# CPU vs Geekbench 7

The clearest difference is rating: CPU at 4.7 against Geekbench 7's 3.3. CPU also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (111 vs 7). Geekbench 7's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CPU sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Geekbench 7 asks for nothing beyond the download.

CPU holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CPU has 111 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 61% of CPU's written reviews are positive against 50% of Geekbench 7's.

CPU ships an update fortnightly, Geekbench 7 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
