Comparison · a weighted decision workspace
Compare apps by the numbers that matter to you
Put up to four App Store apps side by side, then weight the criteria yourself — maintenance, reach, price, size, languages, longevity. The verdict recomputes live and shows its working: the weighting, the data date, and which app wins on each measure. Everything is live public metadata; the ranking is your priorities applied to it, not our opinion.
How to read this
A higher average rating only means something next to a high rating count — ten reviews cannot outweigh a million. A bigger download is not better; it just costs more space. The most underrated field is the last update date: a recently updated app is one someone still maintains.
Compare like with like — two apps that do the same job — then weigh the numbers against how you will use them. The table below marks the best observed value on each measure, but “best” is not the same as best for you.
The question that decides it
“Which one is still being maintained, and which do enough people actually use to trust the rating?”
Update recency and rating count answer both more often than the star average does.
Your matchup
Search up to four apps, set how much each criterion matters, and read the verdict. Every figure is observed from public metadata; the weighting is yours and always shown.

What we did not test
We do not run these apps. This comparison is built from public store metadata only — ratings, size, price, dates and languages — not from hands-on testing, and not from downloads, revenue or retention, which we cannot see and do not estimate.
How to compare two apps fairly
Two apps' live public metadata side by side: ratings, rating count, price, download size, age rating, languages, and release and update dates. Everything is real and current; nothing is weighted or scored by us.
A higher rating average only means something next to a high rating count. A bigger download is not better. The most underrated field is the last update date — a maintained app often matters more than a tenth of a star.
Compare like with like, then weigh the numbers against how you will use them. The glossary explains each field, and our study on ratings unpacks why the count matters more than the stars.
