# RK vs Bome Network

The clearest difference is rating: RK at 5.0 against Bome Network's 4.2. RK also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and update cadence (every 5 months vs every 12 months). Bome Network's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 67%). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bome Network sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. RK asks for nothing beyond the download.

RK holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 9 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of RK's written reviews are positive against 100% of Bome Network's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

RK ships an update every 5 months, Bome Network every 12 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
