# Nooka vs 星泡

The clearest difference is rating: Nooka at 4.3 against 星泡's 2.3. Nooka also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium) and ratings volume (19 vs 3). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nooka sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and 星泡 sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Nooka holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nooka has 19 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Nooka's written reviews are positive against 80% of 星泡's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Nooka ships an update every 3 weeks, 星泡 fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 16, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
