Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ISSEN at 4.7 against Converly's 4.3. ISSEN also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (3.3K vs 161). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ISSEN sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $20.49 per month and Converly sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ISSEN holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ISSEN has 3.3K ratings behind it against 161, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of ISSEN's written reviews are positive against 80% of Converly's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ISSEN ships an update every 4 days, Converly fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
