# Progress Pics vs GainFrame

The clearest difference is rating: GainFrame at 4.9 against Progress Pics's 4.6. GainFrame also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 8 days). Progress Pics's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 88%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Progress Pics sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and GainFrame sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GainFrame holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 47 and 76 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Progress Pics's written reviews are positive against 88% of GainFrame's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Progress Pics ships an update every 8 days, GainFrame every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and November 15, 2026 respectively.
