# Git client vs MarkGit

The clearest difference is price: Git client at Free against MarkGit's $2.99. Git client also leads on ratings volume (3.8K vs 2) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). MarkGit's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 17) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.2). On rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Git client is free to download; MarkGit costs $2.99 up front. Git client sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. MarkGit asks for nothing beyond the download.

MarkGit holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Git client has 3.8K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Git client's written reviews are positive against 80% of MarkGit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Git client ships an update every 9 days, MarkGit monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
