# Cloud Gaze vs ProjectX

The clearest difference is update cadence: ProjectX at every 6 days against Cloud Gaze's every 9 months. ProjectX also leads on ratings volume (82 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). Cloud Gaze's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cloud Gaze sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and ProjectX sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cloud Gaze holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ProjectX has 82 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Cloud Gaze ships an update every 9 months, ProjectX every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
