# Aniimo vs Cozy Alchemy

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Aniimo at 9.3K against Cozy Alchemy's 6. Aniimo also leads on chart position (#18 vs unranked) and device support (3 vs 1). Cozy Alchemy's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Aniimo sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Cozy Alchemy sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cozy Alchemy holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Aniimo has 9.3K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Aniimo ships an update weekly, Cozy Alchemy every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
