# Reset vs one hour

Reset and one hour both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of one hour's written reviews are positive against 36% of Reset's. one hour also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). Reset's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 10 days). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Reset sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and one hour sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Reset against 4.6 for one hour. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reset has 181 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 36% of Reset's written reviews are positive against 100% of one hour's.

Reset ships an update every 3 days, one hour every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
