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. Roller Polar sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Mimelet sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Roller Polar holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 62 and 94 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Roller Polar's written reviews are positive against 79% of Mimelet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Roller Polar ships an update every 9 months, Mimelet every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
