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. CADIO sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Mouse · Keyboard asks for nothing beyond the download.
CADIO holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mouse · Keyboard has 2.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of Mouse · Keyboard's written reviews are positive against 0% of CADIO's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mouse · Keyboard ships an update fortnightly, CADIO every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
