# ⁢Manifest vs AffirmGate

The clearest difference is ads: AffirmGate at none against ⁢Manifest's shown. AffirmGate also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 69%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). ⁢Manifest's advantage is ratings volume (2.7K vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ⁢Manifest sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and AffirmGate sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

AffirmGate holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ⁢Manifest has 2.7K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 69% of ⁢Manifest's written reviews are positive against 100% of AffirmGate's.

⁢Manifest ships an update weekly, AffirmGate every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
