Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: 기리고 at 4.1 against IDOLCHAMP's 3.3. 기리고 also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). IDOLCHAMP's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (905 vs 229). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IDOLCHAMP sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $8.49 per month. 기리고 asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

기리고 holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 905 and 229 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of IDOLCHAMP's written reviews are positive against 64% of 기리고's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

IDOLCHAMP ships an update every 3 weeks, 기리고 every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
