# OWNU vs Nobs

The clearest difference is rating: OWNU at 4.8 against Nobs's 4.1. OWNU also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (3.3K vs 75). Nobs's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OWNU sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $17.99 per month and Nobs sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

OWNU holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OWNU has 3.3K ratings behind it against 75, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of OWNU's written reviews are positive against 70% of Nobs's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 16, 2026.
