# Acupuncture Master vs iáomai

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Acupuncture Master at 80% against iáomai's 0%. Acupuncture Master also leads on ratings volume (9 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). iáomai's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.2) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Acupuncture Master sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $25.99 per year and iáomai sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

iáomai holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Acupuncture Master has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Acupuncture Master's written reviews are positive against 0% of iáomai's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Acupuncture Master ships an update every 2 months, iáomai every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
