# mPaceline vs RISENForge

The clearest difference is rating: RISENForge at 5.0 against mPaceline's 3.4. RISENForge also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). mPaceline's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (57 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. mPaceline sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and RISENForge sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

RISENForge holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: mPaceline has 57 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
