# Whooming vs CieID

The clearest difference is rating: CieID at 4.2 against Whooming's 2.8. CieID also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ratings volume (254 vs 16). Whooming's advantage is review sentiment (37% vs 9%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Whooming sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. CieID asks for nothing beyond the download.

CieID holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CieID has 254 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of Whooming's written reviews are positive against 9% of CieID's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Whooming ships an update every 3 weeks, CieID monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
