# Seashine vs Feist

The clearest difference is rating: Seashine at 4.8 against Feist's 4.0. Seashine also leads on review sentiment (94% vs 65%) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). Feist's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Seashine sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Feist sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Seashine holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Seashine has 4.7K ratings behind it against 653, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 94% of Seashine's written reviews are positive against 65% of Feist's.

Seashine ships an update monthly, Feist every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
