Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sample Ox at 100% against Oznr's 48%. Oznr's advantage is ratings volume (3.1K vs 5) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Oznr holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Oznr has 3.1K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Sample Ox's written reviews are positive against 48% of Oznr's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Sample Ox ships an update every 5 weeks, Oznr every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
