# Streaks vs Capsule

The clearest difference is price: Capsule at Free against Streaks's $5.99. Capsule also leads on review sentiment (90% vs 72%). Streaks's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). On update cadence, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Capsule is free to download; Streaks costs $5.99 up front. Capsule sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Streaks asks for nothing beyond the download.

Streaks holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Streaks has 27K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Streaks's written reviews are positive against 90% of Capsule's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Streaks ships an update fortnightly, Capsule every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and August 30, 2026 respectively.
