Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Octopus at 5.0 against Notifications's 3.7. Octopus also leads on ratings volume (22K vs 3) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 7 months). Notifications's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 78%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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.
Octopus holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Octopus has 22K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Notifications's written reviews are positive against 78% of Octopus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Notifications ships an update every 7 months, Octopus every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
