# Kodex vs O

The clearest difference is ads: Kodex at none against O's shown. O's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (8.6K vs 208). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Kodex sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and O sells 23 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

O holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: O has 8.6K ratings behind it against 208, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 63% and 63% positive.

Kodex ships an update monthly, O fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
