# Surfy vs Pull

The clearest difference is rating: Pull at 4.7 against Surfy's 3.0. Pull also leads on ratings volume (2.4K vs 3) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). Surfy's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.1 vs 12.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Surfy sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Pull sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pull holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pull has 2.4K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Surfy's written reviews are positive against 64% of Pull's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Surfy ships an update every 2 months, Pull every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
