# Hindsight vs Saturn

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hindsight at 100% against Saturn's 50%. Hindsight also leads on ads (none vs shown). Saturn's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hindsight sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Saturn asks for nothing beyond the download.

Saturn holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Hindsight's written reviews are positive against 50% of Saturn's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hindsight ships an update every 4 days, Saturn every 5 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
