Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Y/n at every 10 days against uStory's every 2 months. Y/n also leads on ratings volume (5.1K vs 6) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. uStory sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Y/n sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Y/n holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Y/n has 5.1K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of uStory's written reviews are positive against 61% of Y/n's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
uStory ships an update every 2 months, Y/n every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
