# Gomi vs SHREDD

The clearest difference is price: SHREDD at Free against Gomi's $2.99. SHREDD also leads on update cadence (every 5 months vs every 40 months) and ratings volume (891 vs 12). Gomi's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

SHREDD is free to download; Gomi costs $2.99 up front. SHREDD sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Gomi asks for nothing beyond the download.

Gomi holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SHREDD has 891 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Gomi's written reviews are positive against 92% of SHREDD's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Gomi ships an update every 40 months, SHREDD every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
