# Sphere vs Jeni

Sphere and Jeni both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Sphere's written reviews are positive against 67% of Jeni's. Jeni's advantage is ratings volume (136 vs 4) and iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sphere sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Jeni sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sphere holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jeni has 136 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Sphere's written reviews are positive against 67% of Jeni's.

Sphere ships an update every 3 days, Jeni every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
