# Finger Tap Challenge vs Pineapple Pen

The clearest difference is ads: Finger Tap Challenge at none against Pineapple Pen's shown. Finger Tap Challenge also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 71%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.4). Pineapple Pen's advantage is ratings volume (6K vs 120) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Finger Tap Challenge sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Pineapple Pen sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pineapple Pen holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pineapple Pen has 6K ratings behind it against 120, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Finger Tap Challenge's written reviews are positive against 71% of Pineapple Pen's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Finger Tap Challenge ships an update every 2 months, Pineapple Pen fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
