Friedrich holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Friedrich has 56 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of The Soap Box NYC's written reviews are positive against 0% of Friedrich's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
The Soap Box NYC ships an update every 3 weeks, Friedrich monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
