Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Intentional Climber at 5.0 against Frez's 4.8. Frez's advantage is ratings volume (29 vs 5). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads 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. Frez sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Intentional Climber sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Intentional Climber holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Frez has 29 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
Frez ships an update weekly, Intentional Climber every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
