# Seaplane vs Throw Harder

The clearest difference is rating: Seaplane at 4.3 against Throw Harder's 3.7. Seaplane also leads on review sentiment (65% vs 25%) and ratings volume (79 vs 12). Throw Harder's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 21 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Seaplane sells 19 one-off in-app purchases and Throw Harder sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Seaplane holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Seaplane has 79 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 65% of Seaplane's written reviews are positive against 25% of Throw Harder's.

Seaplane ships an update every 21 months, Throw Harder every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and August 13, 2026 respectively.
