Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Close at 74% against Appic's 15%. Close also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Appic's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.3). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Appic holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 30 and 34 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of Appic's written reviews are positive against 74% of Close's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Appic ships an update weekly, Close every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
