# Reset vs Eclipse

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Eclipse at 100% against Reset's 36%. Eclipse also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Reset's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (177 vs 11). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Reset sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Eclipse sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Eclipse holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reset has 177 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 36% of Reset's written reviews are positive against 100% of Eclipse's.

Reset ships an update every 3 days, Eclipse every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
