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.
GoSolr Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Olarm has 32 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Olarm's written reviews are positive against 20% of GoSolr Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Olarm ships an update every 3 weeks, GoSolr Mobile every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
