CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Collector Systems is free to download; allThings costs $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Collector Systems holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Collector Systems has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Collector Systems's written reviews are positive against 89% of allThings's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Collector Systems ships an update fortnightly, allThings every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and August 31, 2026 respectively.
