Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Narjo at Free against Tromme's $0.99. Narjo also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 50%) and ratings volume (31 vs 6). Tromme's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tromme holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Narjo has 31 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Narjo's written reviews are positive against 50% of Tromme's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Narjo ships an update every 11 days, Tromme every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
