# SHASHA vs ROOH

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ROOH at 100% against SHASHA's 45%. ROOH also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). SHASHA's advantage is ratings volume (20K vs 5) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SHASHA sells 31 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and ROOH sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SHASHA holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SHASHA has 20K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of SHASHA's written reviews are positive against 100% of ROOH's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SHASHA ships an update monthly, ROOH every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
