Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Origami Live at fortnightly against Justinmind's every 5 months. Origami Live also leads on rating (3.5 vs 3.3) and ratings volume (60 vs 15). Justinmind's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases 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.
Origami Live holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 3.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 15 and 60 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Justinmind's written reviews are positive against 48% of Origami Live's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Justinmind ships an update every 5 months, Origami Live fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on June 9, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
