Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Influxer at none against Yik Yak's 3. Influxer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (40% vs 25%). Yik Yak's advantage is ratings volume (52K vs 41) and chart position (#51 vs unranked). On price, rating and update cadence 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. Yik Yak sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Influxer asks for nothing beyond the download.
Yik Yak holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yik Yak has 52K ratings behind it against 41, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Influxer's written reviews are positive against 25% of Yik Yak's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Influxer ships an update every 9 days, Yik Yak weekly. Both last shipped on November 11, 2026.
