# Tempo vs Flare

The clearest difference is update cadence: Flare at every 3 days against Tempo's every 4 weeks. Flare also leads on ratings volume (6.7K vs 33) and chart position (#136 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Tempo against 4.9 for Flare. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flare has 6.7K ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of Tempo's written reviews are positive against 97% of Flare's.

Tempo ships an update every 4 weeks, Flare every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
