# Astrysk vs iGotify

The clearest difference is rating: iGotify at 4.4 against Astrysk's 3.0. iGotify also leads on ratings volume (14 vs 2). Astrysk's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 8 days vs monthly). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Astrysk sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and iGotify sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

iGotify holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iGotify has 14 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 67% and 66% positive.

Astrysk ships an update every 8 days, iGotify monthly. The most recent releases landed on June 24, 2026 and September 1, 2026 respectively.
