# ToSee vs Kemo

The clearest difference is rating: Kemo at 4.6 against ToSee's 2.0. Kemo also leads on ratings volume (92K vs 416) and chart position (#45 vs unranked). ToSee's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 13) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Kemo sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. ToSee asks for nothing beyond the download.

Kemo holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kemo has 92K ratings behind it against 416, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 9% of ToSee's written reviews are positive against 17% of Kemo's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
