Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Kokosend at none against My's shown. Kokosend also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). My's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and review sentiment (90% vs 70%). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
My holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My has 1.3K ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 90% of My's written reviews are positive against 70% of Kokosend's.
My ships an update monthly, Kokosend every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
