# Worrydolls vs Emoke

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Worrydolls at 15K against Emoke's 5. Emoke's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Worrydolls sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Emoke sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Emoke holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Worrydolls has 15K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of Worrydolls's written reviews are positive against 98% of Emoke's.

Worrydolls ships an update every 3 weeks, Emoke every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
