Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Swiss German at 4.3 against aCHo's 3.0. aCHo's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Swiss German sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $24.49 per month. aCHo asks for nothing beyond the download.
Swiss German holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of aCHo's written reviews are positive against 67% of Swiss German's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
aCHo ships an update every 2 months, Swiss German every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
