# Origame vs Shape Fold

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Shape Fold at 50% against Origame's 25%. Shape Fold also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Origame's advantage is ratings volume (84K vs 10) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Origame sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Shape Fold sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Origame holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Origame has 84K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Origame's written reviews are positive against 50% of Shape Fold's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Origame ships an update monthly, Shape Fold every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
