Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Fonts Reference at 3.4 against Shofar's 2.1. Fonts Reference also leads on update cadence (every 6 months vs every 126 months). Shofar's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 40%) and iOS requirement (8.4 vs 26.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Fonts Reference holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 2.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 8 and 18 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Fonts Reference's written reviews are positive against 60% of Shofar's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Fonts Reference ships an update every 6 months, Shofar every 126 months. The most recent releases landed on June 8, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
