# Kavel vs POINPY

The clearest difference is price: POINPY at Free against Kavel's $1.99. POINPY also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and ratings volume (272 vs 26). Kavel's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On review sentiment, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

POINPY is free to download; Kavel costs $1.99 up front. POINPY sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Kavel asks for nothing beyond the download.

POINPY holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: POINPY has 272 ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Kavel's written reviews are positive against 95% of POINPY's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Kavel ships an update every 3 weeks, POINPY every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
