# Stack vs Origame

Stack and Origame both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 53% of Stack's written reviews are positive against 24% of Origame's. Stack also leads on chart position (#127 vs unranked) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stack sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and Origame sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Origame holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 59K and 84K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Stack's written reviews are positive against 24% of Origame's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Stack ships an update every 10 days, Origame every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
