# Webfic vs KBM App

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Webfic at 76% against KBM App's 6%. Webfic also leads on rating (4.3 vs 2.6) and ratings volume (27K vs 5). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Webfic sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and KBM App sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Webfic holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Webfic has 27K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 76% of Webfic's written reviews are positive against 6% of KBM App's.

Webfic ships an update every 5 weeks, KBM App every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
