Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Critic at none against Konsensus's 14. Critic also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). Konsensus's advantage is ratings volume (127 vs 14) and review sentiment (92% vs 83%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads 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. Konsensus sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Critic asks for nothing beyond the download.
Konsensus holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Konsensus has 127 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of Critic's written reviews are positive against 92% of Konsensus's.
Critic ships an update every 2 weeks, Konsensus fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on June 4, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
