Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: nummi at 4.6 against Romi Lite's 3.0. nummi also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (1K vs 2). Romi Lite's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

nummi holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: nummi has 1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Romi Lite's written reviews are positive against 53% of nummi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Romi Lite ships an update every 6 weeks, nummi weekly. The most recent releases landed on August 27, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
