Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ameba（アメーバ） at 54% against DMMオンラインサロン's 11%. Ameba（アメーバ） also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.3) and ratings volume (526 vs 3). DMMオンラインサロン's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
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. Ameba（アメーバ） sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and DMMオンラインサロン sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Ameba（アメーバ） holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ameba（アメーバ） has 526 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 54% of Ameba（アメーバ）'s written reviews are positive against 11% of DMMオンラインサロン's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
