# OCD.app vs Samphire

OCD.app and Samphire both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 78% of Samphire's written reviews are positive against 50% of OCD.app's. OCD.app's advantage is ratings volume (3.4K vs 12) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OCD.app sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Samphire sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

OCD.app holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OCD.app has 3.4K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of OCD.app's written reviews are positive against 78% of Samphire's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

OCD.app ships an update every 4 days, Samphire fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
