ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

카카오뱅크 holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 카카오뱅크 has 145 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of 카카오뱅크's written reviews are positive against 95% of 충남상품권 chak's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

카카오뱅크 ships an update every 3 weeks, 충남상품권 chak every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
