# Supernova vs Singularity

The clearest difference is rating: Supernova at 4.5 against Singularity's 3.6. Supernova also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (78 vs 8). Singularity's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Supernova sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Singularity sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Supernova holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Supernova has 78 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of Supernova's written reviews are positive against 67% of Singularity's.

Supernova ships an update every 2 days, Singularity every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
