The clearest difference is update cadence: Join 4 in a row at every 3 weeks against Four's every 7 months. Join 4 in a row also leads on rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (26 vs 4). Four's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 60%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Join 4 in a row holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Join 4 in a row has 26 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Join 4 in a row's written reviews are positive against 75% of Four's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Join 4 in a row ships an update every 3 weeks, Four every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
