# Imou Life vs SAVEKEY

The clearest difference is rating: SAVEKEY at 5.0 against Imou Life's 4.3. SAVEKEY also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 16). Imou Life's advantage is ratings volume (4.8K vs 2) and chart position (#125 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Imou Life sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month. SAVEKEY asks for nothing beyond the download.

SAVEKEY holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Imou Life has 4.8K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
