# Kodex vs Google Play Console

The clearest difference is rating: Google Play Console at 4.7 against Kodex's 4.2. Google Play Console also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and chart position (#27 vs #87). Kodex's advantage is iOS requirement (13.4 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Kodex sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Google Play Console asks for nothing beyond the download.

Google Play Console holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 207 and 154 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Kodex's written reviews are positive against 57% of Google Play Console's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Kodex ships an update monthly, Google Play Console every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
