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. The Nom sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Venom Archer sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for The Nom against 4.8 for Venom Archer. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Nom has 23K ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 48% of The Nom's written reviews are positive against 67% of Venom Archer's.
The Nom ships an update weekly, Venom Archer every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
