# Sigma Theory vs 112 Operator

The clearest difference is rating: Sigma Theory at 4.5 against 112 Operator's 4.1. Sigma Theory also leads on price ($6.99 vs $9.99) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). 112 Operator's advantage is ratings volume (85 vs 8). On review sentiment, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Sigma Theory costs $6.99 and 112 Operator $9.99 up front. Sigma Theory sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and 112 Operator sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sigma Theory holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 112 Operator has 85 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Sigma Theory's written reviews are positive against 61% of 112 Operator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
