Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Cosmo Desktop at 5.0 against AI Pranks!'s 4.5. Cosmo Desktop also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). AI Pranks!'s advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (14 vs 2). On price, ads and device support 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. AI Pranks! sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Cosmo Desktop asks for nothing beyond the download.
Cosmo Desktop holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AI Pranks! has 14 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Cosmo Desktop's written reviews are positive against 100% of AI Pranks!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cosmo Desktop ships an update every 10 months, AI Pranks! every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
