Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Coffee Profile at Free against Single Origin's $0.99. Coffee Profile also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 67%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Single Origin's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (99 vs 2). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Single Origin holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Single Origin has 99 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Single Origin's written reviews are positive against 79% of Coffee Profile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Single Origin ships an update every 9 days, Coffee Profile every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
