Both are free to download. Phonemo sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Osmo Tangram Classic asks for nothing beyond the download.
Phonemo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Osmo Tangram Classic has 314 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Phonemo's written reviews are positive against 47% of Osmo Tangram Classic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Phonemo ships an update every 9 months, Osmo Tangram Classic every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
