ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

GIC Collect holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 162 and 377 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of GIC Collect's written reviews are positive against 83% of KobCard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

GIC Collect ships an update every 5 weeks, KobCard every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
