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.
iMKA holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 15 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of iMKA's written reviews are positive against 41% of Leo Express's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iMKA ships an update every 5 weeks, Leo Express every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
