Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Seeing at free with in-app purchases against Gazing's subscription. Seeing also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (67K vs 2.1K). Gazing's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Seeing sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $28.99 per 6 months and Gazing sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Seeing holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Seeing has 67K ratings behind it against 2.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 26% of Seeing's written reviews are positive against 17% of Gazing's.
Seeing ships an update every 5 weeks, Gazing every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
