# Gaia vs Team Light

The clearest difference is monetization model: Team Light at free with in-app purchases against Gaia's subscription. Team Light also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 68%). Gaia's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (141K vs 6). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gaia sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and Team Light sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $39.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Gaia holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gaia has 141K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Gaia's written reviews are positive against 100% of Team Light's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Gaia ships an update weekly, Team Light every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
