Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Phoring at 75% against OnPhone's 45%. OnPhone's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (52K vs 5). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Phoring sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and OnPhone sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

OnPhone holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OnPhone has 52K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Phoring's written reviews are positive against 45% of OnPhone's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Phoring ships an update every 3 weeks, OnPhone fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
