Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bzhmera at none against GloomsteR's 1. GloomsteR's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (858 vs 17). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

GloomsteR holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GloomsteR has 858 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 97% of GloomsteR's written reviews are positive against 100% of Bzhmera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
