# THE YELLOW MONKEY vs DIR ORACLE

The clearest difference is rating: THE YELLOW MONKEY at 5.0 against DIR ORACLE's 3.0. DIR ORACLE's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. THE YELLOW MONKEY sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $6.00 per month. DIR ORACLE asks for nothing beyond the download.

THE YELLOW MONKEY holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DIR ORACLE has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 4% of THE YELLOW MONKEY's written reviews are positive against 25% of DIR ORACLE's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

THE YELLOW MONKEY ships an update every 5 weeks, DIR ORACLE weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
