# Kodex vs Supanator

The clearest difference is rating: Supanator at 4.8 against Kodex's 4.2. Supanator also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). Kodex's advantage is review sentiment (63% vs 38%) and ratings volume (209 vs 24). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Kodex sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Supanator sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Supanator holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kodex has 209 ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Kodex's written reviews are positive against 38% of Supanator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Kodex ships an update monthly, Supanator every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 8, 2026.
