# Jomo vs Atten

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Jomo at 2.5K against Atten's 157. Atten's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and review sentiment (90% vs 82%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Jomo sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Atten sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Jomo against 4.7 for Atten. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jomo has 2.5K ratings behind it against 157, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 82% of Jomo's written reviews are positive against 90% of Atten's.

Jomo ships an update fortnightly, Atten weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
