# 5 Voices vs Ember

The clearest difference is rating: Ember at 4.6 against 5 Voices's 3.7. Ember also leads on ratings volume (703 vs 42) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). 5 Voices's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 5 Voices sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Ember sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Ember holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ember has 703 ratings behind it against 42, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of 5 Voices's written reviews are positive against 50% of Ember's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

5 Voices ships an update every 3 weeks, Ember weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
