# Comet vs App Iris

The clearest difference is review sentiment: App Iris at 100% against Comet's 65%. App Iris also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Comet's advantage is ratings volume (7.8K vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Comet sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $20.00 per month and App Iris sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

App Iris holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Comet has 7.8K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 65% of Comet's written reviews are positive against 100% of App Iris's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
