Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Síminn at 75% against Posten's 15%. Posten's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.8) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Posten holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Posten has 150 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of Posten's written reviews are positive against 75% of Síminn's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Posten ships an update weekly, Síminn every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
