# Savvy Navvy vs Float LKN

The clearest difference is price: Savvy Navvy at Free against Float LKN's $2.99. Savvy Navvy also leads on ratings volume (8.4K vs 9) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and chart position there is nothing between them.

Savvy Navvy is free to download; Float LKN costs $2.99 up front. Savvy Navvy sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $99.00 per year and Float LKN sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Savvy Navvy holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Savvy Navvy has 8.4K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Savvy Navvy's written reviews are positive against 57% of Float LKN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Savvy Navvy ships an update weekly, Float LKN every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
