About

Saga

Saga is one private home for everything you play, watch, and read. Games, anime, manga, movies, TV — most trackers do one. Saga unifies them in a single library you actually own. Search across catalogs, add what you're into, and keep a personal journal of what each story meant to you. WHY SAGA • One library, every medium. Stop juggling a watchlist app, a game backlog, and a reading list. Saga holds all of it, sorted the way you think. • Journal, don't just track. Rate what you finish and write what you felt — by keyboard or hands-free voice dictation that stays on your device. • Private by design. Your library and journal live on your device and sync only through your own private iCloud. No account. No ads. No tracking. We never see your data. • Your year in media. See hours played, episodes watched, what you finished, and the patterns in your taste — all computed on-device. • Make it yours. 13 color themes, interactive animated backgrounds, and a dozen display fonts. Localized in 8 languages. • Everywhere you are. iPhone, iPad, Mac, a Home Screen widget for your current obsession, and an Apple Watch companion. • Locked down. Optional Face ID / Touch ID lock keeps your journal yours. • Take it with you. Export your whole library and journal anytime — it's your data. PREMIUM Saga is free to start. Saga Premium unlocks an unlimited library, the full journal, every theme, advanced stats, and export: • Monthly or Annual subscription, or a one-time Lifetime unlock. • Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Start your saga today. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict

The call

Chihu and Saga are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Chihu sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Saga sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
