# swipe vs Partywheel

The clearest difference is rating: swipe at 4.7 against Partywheel's 3.2. swipe also leads on review sentiment (90% vs 50%) and ratings volume (2.4K vs 5). Partywheel's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. swipe sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Partywheel sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

swipe holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: swipe has 2.4K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 90% of swipe's written reviews are positive against 50% of Partywheel's.

swipe ships an update every 4 months, Partywheel monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
