# Cosm vs Soapbox

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cosm at none against Soapbox's 4. Cosm also leads on ratings volume (126 vs 7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). Soapbox's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Soapbox sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Cosm asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Cosm against 5.0 for Soapbox. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cosm has 126 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Cosm ships an update fortnightly, Soapbox monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
