Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Origame at 4.6 against Element Flow's 3.4. Origame also leads on ratings volume (84K vs 1.9K). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads 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. Origame sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Element Flow 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 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Origame has 84K ratings behind it against 1.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Origame's written reviews are positive against 27% of Element Flow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
