# Sunrise, Sunset vs EclipseGo

The clearest difference is rating: EclipseGo at 5.0 against Sunrise, Sunset's 3.3. EclipseGo also leads on ads (none vs shown). Sunrise, Sunset's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (20 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sunrise, Sunset sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and EclipseGo sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

EclipseGo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sunrise, Sunset has 20 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Sunrise, Sunset ships an update every 3 days, EclipseGo every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
