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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Aroma Retail holds the better App Store score, 1.7 against 1.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7 and 26 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of AromaTech's written reviews are positive against 4% of Aroma Retail's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
AromaTech ships an update every 2 months, Aroma Retail fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
