# toongether vs Story

The clearest difference is ratings volume: toongether at 3.9K against Story's 2. toongether also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). Story's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. toongether sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Story sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Story holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: toongether has 3.9K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

toongether ships an update every 3 days, Story weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
