Guess 'em holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0.

Written reviews complicate that: 32% of Guess 'em's written reviews are positive against 55% of Osmo Numbers Classic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Guess 'em ships an update every 31 months, Osmo Numbers Classic every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
