Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Thinger at 4.6 against KOKONI3D's 2.0. Thinger also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 25) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). KOKONI3D's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Thinger sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and KOKONI3D sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Thinger holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Thinger has 1.3K ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of Thinger's written reviews are positive against 18% of KOKONI3D's.
Thinger ships an update every 5 days, KOKONI3D every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
