Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: KBSPresence at 198 against MySurge's 5. On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MySurge holds the better App Store score, 2.6 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KBSPresence has 198 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 4% of KBSPresence's written reviews are positive against 0% of MySurge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
KBSPresence ships an update every 2 weeks, MySurge every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
