Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Appistear at 5.0 against OLIO's 4.5. Appistear also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 16) and ads (none vs shown). OLIO's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (782 vs 5). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OLIO sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Appistear asks for nothing beyond the download.
Appistear holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OLIO has 782 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Appistear's written reviews are positive against 73% of OLIO's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Appistear ships an update every 2 months, OLIO weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 16, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
