# On vs HAM

The clearest difference is price: On at Free against HAM's $14.99. On also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.6). HAM's advantage is review sentiment (69% vs 50%) and chart position (#195 vs unranked). On ratings volume, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

On is free to download; HAM costs $14.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 13 and 7 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of On's written reviews are positive against 69% of HAM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
