# Slyder vs Klava Keyboard

The clearest difference is rating: Slyder at 4.5 against Klava Keyboard's 3.7. Slyder also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 10) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). Klava Keyboard's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 69%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Slyder sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Klava Keyboard sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Slyder holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Slyder has 1.6K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Slyder's written reviews are positive against 80% of Klava Keyboard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Slyder ships an update every 10 days, Klava Keyboard every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
