# TAKUMI³ vs DEEMO II

The clearest difference is ads: DEEMO II at none against TAKUMI³'s shown. DEEMO II also leads on ratings volume (3.8K vs 338) and chart position (#94 vs unranked). TAKUMI³'s advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TAKUMI³ sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and DEEMO II sells 43 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for TAKUMI³ against 4.8 for DEEMO II. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DEEMO II has 3.8K ratings behind it against 338, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 62% of TAKUMI³'s written reviews are positive against 68% of DEEMO II's.

TAKUMI³ ships an update every 4 days, DEEMO II every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
