# Kodex vs BluetoothAssistant

The clearest difference is ads: Kodex at none against BluetoothAssistant's shown. Kodex also leads on iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.0). BluetoothAssistant's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 207). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Kodex sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and BluetoothAssistant sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.2 for Kodex against 4.2 for BluetoothAssistant. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BluetoothAssistant has 1.1K ratings behind it against 207, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 63% of Kodex's written reviews are positive against 61% of BluetoothAssistant's.

Kodex ships an update monthly, BluetoothAssistant every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
