# OCO vs Paper Mingle

The clearest difference is ads: Paper Mingle at none against OCO's shown. Paper Mingle also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). OCO's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (2.4K vs 41). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OCO sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Paper Mingle sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

OCO holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OCO has 2.4K ratings behind it against 41, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of OCO's written reviews are positive against 69% of Paper Mingle's.

OCO ships an update every 5 weeks, Paper Mingle every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
