# Curiosity vs Gisty

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Curiosity at 172 against Gisty's 3. Gisty's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Curiosity sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Gisty sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Gisty holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Curiosity has 172 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of Curiosity's written reviews are positive against 100% of Gisty's.

Curiosity ships an update every 2 weeks, Gisty every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
