# Foretales vs Astrea

The clearest difference is rating: Foretales at 4.8 against Astrea's 4.3. Foretales also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (164 vs 20). Astrea's advantage is review sentiment (74% vs 58%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On ads, in-app purchases, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.

Foretales costs $4.99 and Astrea $5.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Foretales holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Foretales has 164 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Foretales's written reviews are positive against 74% of Astrea's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Foretales ships an update daily, Astrea every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
