# Shave Me! vs Episoder

The clearest difference is rating: Shave Me! at 4.0 against Episoder's 3.4. Shave Me! also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (212 vs 19). Episoder's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shave Me! sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Episoder sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Shave Me! holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shave Me! has 212 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Shave Me!'s written reviews are positive against 64% of Episoder's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Shave Me! ships an update monthly, Episoder every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
