# Peak vs Lobe

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lobe at 100% against Peak's 64%. Lobe also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). Peak's advantage is ratings volume (146K vs 9) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Peak sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Lobe sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lobe holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Peak has 146K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of Peak's written reviews are positive against 100% of Lobe's.

Peak ships an update fortnightly, Lobe every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
