# IITC vs Poke keyboard

The clearest difference is rating: Poke keyboard at 4.3 against IITC's 3.5. Poke keyboard also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). IITC's advantage is review sentiment (29% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 11 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Poke keyboard holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IITC has 72 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of IITC's written reviews are positive against 0% of Poke keyboard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

IITC ships an update every 3 months, Poke keyboard every 11 months. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
