# tōmato vs DANMAKU

The clearest difference is ads: tōmato at none against DANMAKU's shown. tōmato also leads on ratings volume (13 vs 1) and iOS requirement (7.1 vs 18.0). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. tōmato sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and DANMAKU sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DANMAKU holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: tōmato has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

tōmato ships an update every 10 days, DANMAKU fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
