Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Atomus at 89% against Fireworks's 33%. Atomus also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 19 months) and ratings volume (528 vs 1). Fireworks's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases 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
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Fireworks holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Atomus has 528 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Fireworks's written reviews are positive against 89% of Atomus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Fireworks ships an update every 19 months, Atomus every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
