# 1k vs Kami

The clearest difference is rating: 1k at 4.8 against Kami's 4.2. 1k also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (188 vs 33). Kami's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 1k sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month and Kami sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

1k holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 1k has 188 ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 46% of 1k's written reviews are positive against 42% of Kami's.

1k ships an update every 2 weeks, Kami every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
