# GettingOut vs Get Now

The clearest difference is rating: Get Now at 4.2 against GettingOut's 1.9. Get Now also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). GettingOut's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and ratings volume (2.2K vs 196). On price, review sentiment, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Get Now sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. GettingOut asks for nothing beyond the download.

Get Now holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GettingOut has 2.2K ratings behind it against 196, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 5% of GettingOut's written reviews are positive against 0% of Get Now's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

GettingOut ships an update every 2 months, Get Now every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
