# SERIES vs 원스토리

SERIES and 원스토리 both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 70% of 원스토리's written reviews are positive against 30% of SERIES's. 원스토리 also leads on ads (none vs shown). SERIES's advantage is chart position (#62 vs unranked) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SERIES sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and 원스토리 sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $6.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for SERIES against 4.5 for 원스토리. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2K and 1.5K respectively. Written reviews are what separate them: 30% of SERIES's written reviews are positive against 70% of 원스토리's.

SERIES ships an update every 3 weeks, 원스토리 every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
