Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Kuto Pay at 80% against X1 Card's 50%. Kuto Pay also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). X1 Card's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (12K vs 60). 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.
X1 Card holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: X1 Card has 12K ratings behind it against 60, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Kuto Pay's written reviews are positive against 50% of X1 Card's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Kuto Pay ships an update every 9 days, X1 Card every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
