# Ubox vs Kemo

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ubox at 87% against Kemo's 17%. Ubox also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Kemo's advantage is ratings volume (92K vs 28K) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ubox sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Kemo sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
