# Gleam vs PartyWise!

The clearest difference is monetization model: PartyWise! at free with in-app purchases against Gleam's subscription. PartyWise! also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Gleam's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 10) and chart position (#134 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gleam sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and PartyWise! sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PartyWise! holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gleam has 12K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
