Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Samurai Sam's at none against Oregano's's shown. Samurai Sam's also leads on review sentiment (33% vs 14%) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Oregano's's advantage is update cadence (every 5 months vs every 28 months) and rating (3.1 vs 2.8). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Oregano's holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Oregano's has 42 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of Oregano's's written reviews are positive against 33% of Samurai Sam's's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Oregano's ships an update every 5 months, Samurai Sam's every 28 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
