Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Judokai at 4.7 against ThePanash's 3.0. Judokai also leads on ratings volume (191 vs 2). ThePanash's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 74%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Judokai sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and ThePanash sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $34.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Judokai holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Judokai has 191 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Judokai's written reviews are positive against 100% of ThePanash's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Judokai ships an update every 3 weeks, ThePanash every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
