Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Second Life at 3.5 against Kosmi's 2.7. Second Life also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (441 vs 34). Kosmi's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Second Life sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Kosmi asks for nothing beyond the download.
Second Life holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Second Life has 441 ratings behind it against 34, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Kosmi's written reviews are positive against 34% of Second Life's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Kosmi ships an update every 10 months, Second Life every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
