# Kitabi vs كتبجي

The clearest difference is update cadence: كتبجي at every 5 days against Kitabi's every 3 weeks. كتبجي also leads on ratings volume (154 vs 6). Kitabi's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Kitabi sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and كتبجي sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

كتبجي holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: كتبجي has 154 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Kitabi's written reviews are positive against 93% of كتبجي's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Kitabi ships an update every 3 weeks, كتبجي every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
