Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: AlgoLaser at 2.3 against MKSLaser's 1.9. AlgoLaser also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). MKSLaser's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (47 vs 7). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

AlgoLaser holds the better App Store score, 2.3 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MKSLaser has 47 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of MKSLaser's written reviews are positive against 14% of AlgoLaser's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MKSLaser ships an update every 6 weeks, AlgoLaser every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
