# Make24 vs Gumball!

The clearest difference is update cadence: Make24 at every 2 days against Gumball!'s weekly. Gumball!'s advantage is ratings volume (181 vs 15) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Make24 sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Gumball! sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Make24 against 4.8 for Gumball!. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gumball! has 181 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Make24 ships an update every 2 days, Gumball! weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
