# Polysphere vs String Art

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Polysphere at 607K against String Art's 26K. Polysphere also leads on review sentiment (48% vs 37%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Polysphere sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and String Art sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Polysphere against 4.6 for String Art. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Polysphere has 607K ratings behind it against 26K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 48% of Polysphere's written reviews are positive against 37% of String Art's.

Polysphere ships an update every 3 weeks, String Art every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on September 30, 2026.
