Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Freshservice at 4.5 against Project Insight's 3.3. Freshservice also leads on ratings volume (2.4K vs 7) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Project Insight's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and review sentiment (33% vs 19%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Freshservice holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Freshservice has 2.4K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of Freshservice's written reviews are positive against 33% of Project Insight's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Freshservice ships an update every 3 weeks, Project Insight every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and August 19, 2026 respectively.
