# Knives Out vs OneCast

The clearest difference is update cadence: Knives Out at weekly against OneCast's monthly. Knives Out also leads on chart position (#134 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). OneCast's advantage is ratings volume (10K vs 509). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Knives Out sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and OneCast sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

OneCast holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OneCast has 10K ratings behind it against 509, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 54% of Knives Out's written reviews are positive against 62% of OneCast's.

Knives Out ships an update weekly, OneCast monthly. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
