# Limit vs Breakr

The clearest difference is rating: Breakr at 4.7 against Limit's 3.4. Breakr also leads on ratings volume (179 vs 7) and review sentiment (73% vs 63%). Limit's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Limit sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Breakr sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Breakr holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Breakr has 179 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of Limit's written reviews are positive against 73% of Breakr's.

Limit ships an update fortnightly, Breakr every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 5, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
