Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Gazing at 4.2 against Towsen's 3.3. Gazing also leads on ratings volume (2.6K vs 21) and chart position (#64 vs unranked). Towsen's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gazing sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and Towsen sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $28.99 per 6 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Gazing holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gazing has 2.6K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of Gazing's written reviews are positive against 29% of Towsen's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Gazing ships an update every 2 weeks, Towsen every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
