Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Brella.io holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brella.io has 51 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of Brella.io's written reviews are positive against 50% of KS Keychain's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Brella.io ships an update monthly, KS Keychain every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
