Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: KeyboardKit at 4.3 against Colemak's 3.1. KeyboardKit also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (75 vs 18). Colemak's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

KeyboardKit holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 75 and 18 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of KeyboardKit's written reviews are positive against 60% of Colemak's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

KeyboardKit ships an update fortnightly, Colemak every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
