Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Yalla Parchis at 4.6 against Cuarenta's 3.2. Yalla Parchis also leads on ratings volume (3.7K vs 6) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). Cuarenta's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (55% vs 46%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Yalla Parchis holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yalla Parchis has 3.7K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Cuarenta's written reviews are positive against 46% of Yalla Parchis's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cuarenta ships an update every 4 months, Yalla Parchis every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
