Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Alpha Omega at 5.7K against Joggle's 84. Alpha Omega also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (13.5 vs 15.0). Joggle's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 73%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Alpha Omega sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Joggle sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Alpha Omega holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Alpha Omega has 5.7K ratings behind it against 84, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Alpha Omega's written reviews are positive against 83% of Joggle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Alpha Omega ships an update monthly, Joggle every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
