# PANIC vs StreakForge

The clearest difference is ratings volume: PANIC at 380 against StreakForge's 6. PANIC also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 days). StreakForge's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 84%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PANIC sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and StreakForge sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for PANIC against 5.0 for StreakForge. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PANIC has 380 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 84% of PANIC's written reviews are positive against 100% of StreakForge's.

PANIC ships an update every 2 days, StreakForge every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
