Kotha holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Election Management BD has 148 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Kotha's written reviews are positive against 65% of Smart Election Management BD's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Kotha ships an update monthly, Smart Election Management BD every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
