Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
PITCHER Impact holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Help Lightning has 26 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Help Lightning's written reviews are positive against 33% of PITCHER Impact's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 1, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
