Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Voodoo Detective at every 10 days against FROST's every 24 months. Voodoo Detective also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). FROST's advantage is ratings volume (15K vs 99) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

FROST holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FROST has 15K ratings behind it against 99, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of FROST's written reviews are positive against 80% of Voodoo Detective's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

FROST ships an update every 24 months, Voodoo Detective every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
