Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 1A VoxPop at 5.0 against KBIA's 4.6. 1A VoxPop also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). KBIA's advantage is ratings volume (9 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
1A VoxPop holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KBIA has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
