Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Tinker DIY at 1.9K against Kamia's 3. Tinker DIY also leads on review sentiment (45% vs 33%). Kamia's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Kamia holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tinker DIY has 1.9K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Kamia's written reviews are positive against 45% of Tinker DIY's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Kamia ships an update monthly, Tinker DIY every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
