Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: DigiLocker at 3.3 against Kelvinator's 1.0. DigiLocker also leads on ratings volume (190 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Kelvinator's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 36%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DigiLocker holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DigiLocker has 190 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of DigiLocker's written reviews are positive against 50% of Kelvinator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

DigiLocker ships an update every 3 weeks, Kelvinator every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
