# Forge vs 75 Hard Challenge

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Forge at 100% against 75 Hard Challenge's 0%. Forge also leads on ratings volume (19 vs 2). 75 Hard Challenge's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and device support (3 vs 1).

Both are free to download. Forge sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and 75 Hard Challenge sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

75 Hard Challenge holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Forge has 19 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Forge's written reviews are positive against 0% of 75 Hard Challenge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Forge ships an update fortnightly, 75 Hard Challenge every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 11, 2026 and June 4, 2026 respectively.
