# Fraksl vs One Mandala

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Fraksl at 88% against One Mandala's 43%. Fraksl also leads on rating (4.8 vs 1.9) and ratings volume (614 vs 8). One Mandala's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 12 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fraksl sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and One Mandala sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Fraksl holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fraksl has 614 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of Fraksl's written reviews are positive against 43% of One Mandala's.

Fraksl ships an update every 12 months, One Mandala every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
