Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Infinite Jonathans at none against Nicole's 2. Infinite Jonathans also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 20 months) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). Nicole's advantage is ratings volume (108 vs 11). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Infinite Jonathans holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nicole has 108 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Nicole's written reviews are positive against 57% of Infinite Jonathans's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Nicole ships an update every 20 months, Infinite Jonathans monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
