Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Temple at 100% against Oral's 35%. Temple also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Oral's advantage is ratings volume (202K vs 2) and chart position (#185 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Temple holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Oral has 202K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 35% of Oral's written reviews are positive against 100% of Temple's.
Oral ships an update every 6 weeks, Temple every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
