Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Polar Flow at 4.6 against Getahead's 1.0. Polar Flow also leads on ratings volume (50K vs 1). Getahead's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 50%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Polar Flow sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $8.99 per month and Getahead sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Polar Flow holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Polar Flow has 50K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Polar Flow's written reviews are positive against 83% of Getahead's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Polar Flow ships an update monthly, Getahead every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
