# STAR/CHILD vs Or4cl3

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Or4cl3 at 100% against STAR/CHILD's 36%. Or4cl3 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). STAR/CHILD's advantage is ratings volume (420 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. STAR/CHILD sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Or4cl3 sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Or4cl3 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: STAR/CHILD has 420 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 36% of STAR/CHILD's written reviews are positive against 100% of Or4cl3's.

STAR/CHILD ships an update monthly, Or4cl3 weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
