# Subscriptions vs Kotekan

The clearest difference is rating: Kotekan at 5.0 against Subscriptions's 4.0. Kotekan also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). Subscriptions's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (64 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Subscriptions sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Kotekan sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Kotekan holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Subscriptions has 64 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 89% and 89% positive.

Subscriptions ships an update every 5 weeks, Kotekan every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
