# SubTime vs Kinoli

The clearest difference is rating: SubTime at 4.7 against Kinoli's 4.0. SubTime also leads on ratings volume (710 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). Kinoli's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SubTime sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and Kinoli sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $7.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SubTime holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SubTime has 710 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

SubTime ships an update every 3 weeks, Kinoli every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
