Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Onsi at 5.0 against Cuvva's 4.7. Onsi also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Cuvva's advantage is ratings volume (52 vs 2) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). 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.
Onsi holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cuvva has 52 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Cuvva's written reviews are positive against 48% of Onsi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cuvva ships an update weekly, Onsi fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
