Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Winners Locker at 88% against The Star's 5%. Winners Locker also leads on ratings volume (4 vs 1). The Star's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.8) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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.
The Star holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 5% of The Star's written reviews are positive against 88% of Winners Locker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
The Star ships an update monthly, Winners Locker every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
