# Yomu vs Eclipse

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Eclipse at 90% against Yomu's 47%. Eclipse also leads on rating (4.5 vs 2.0). Yomu's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Yomu sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Eclipse sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Eclipse holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7 and 12 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 47% of Yomu's written reviews are positive against 90% of Eclipse's.

Yomu ships an update every 3 days, Eclipse fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
