# Yomi vs Dominion

The clearest difference is price: Dominion at Free against Yomi's $9.99. Dominion also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (5.1K vs 19). Yomi's advantage is review sentiment (84% vs 68%). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Dominion is free to download; Yomi costs $9.99 up front. Yomi sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Dominion sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dominion holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dominion has 5.1K ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Yomi's written reviews are positive against 68% of Dominion's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Yomi ships an update every 3 weeks, Dominion every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
