Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: OWNU at 80% against SGS's 48%. OWNU also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (3.3K vs 43). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. OWNU sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $17.99 per month and SGS sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

OWNU holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OWNU has 3.3K ratings behind it against 43, 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 48% of SGS's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

OWNU ships an update every 3 weeks, SGS every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
