Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Oriole at Free against Stash's $5.99. Oriole also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). Stash's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and review sentiment (62% vs 43%). On rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Oriole is free to download; Stash costs $5.99 up front. Oriole sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Stash asks for nothing beyond the download.
Oriole holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stash has 1.2K ratings behind it against 221, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Oriole's written reviews are positive against 62% of Stash's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Oriole ships an update weekly, Stash fortnightly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
