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.
SogoApp holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 149 and 40 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of SogoApp's written reviews are positive against 36% of Sterling Trader's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SogoApp ships an update every 6 weeks, Sterling Trader every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
