Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Aurelia at free against Dreaming's free with in-app purchases. Aurelia also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). Dreaming's advantage is ratings volume (208 vs 20). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dreaming sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Aurelia sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Aurelia holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dreaming has 208 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of Dreaming's written reviews are positive against 100% of Aurelia's.
Dreaming ships an update every 9 days, Aurelia every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
