# Open vs Coach Dory

Open and Coach Dory both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Coach Dory's written reviews are positive against 60% of Open's. Coach Dory also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Open's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (18K vs 20). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Open sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and Coach Dory sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Open against 5.0 for Coach Dory. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Open has 18K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 60% of Open's written reviews are positive against 100% of Coach Dory's.

Open ships an update weekly, Coach Dory every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
