# Paradigm vs DEEMO II

The clearest difference is update cadence: Paradigm at every 3 weeks against DEEMO II's every 2 months. Paradigm also leads on review sentiment (81% vs 68%). DEEMO II's advantage is ratings volume (3.7K vs 268) and chart position (#92 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Paradigm sells 11 one-off in-app purchases 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 — 4.7 for Paradigm against 4.8 for DEEMO II. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DEEMO II has 3.7K ratings behind it against 268, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 81% of Paradigm's written reviews are positive against 68% of DEEMO II's.

Paradigm ships an update every 3 weeks, DEEMO II every 2 months. Both last shipped on September 28, 2026.
