# A Needle Pulling Thread vs Who Called Me

The clearest difference is ads: A Needle Pulling Thread at none against Who Called Me's shown. A Needle Pulling Thread also leads on rating (4.3 vs 3.9) and iOS requirement (11.2 vs 13.0). Who Called Me's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 13 months) and review sentiment (83% vs 70%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. A Needle Pulling Thread sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per year and Who Called Me sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

A Needle Pulling Thread holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 14 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of A Needle Pulling Thread's written reviews are positive against 83% of Who Called Me's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

A Needle Pulling Thread ships an update every 13 months, Who Called Me every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
