Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: IGOTIN at 4.7 against Yik Yak's 3.9. IGOTIN also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (54% vs 25%). Yik Yak's advantage is ratings volume (51K vs 2.4K) and chart position (#32 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Yik Yak sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and IGOTIN sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
IGOTIN holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yik Yak has 51K ratings behind it against 2.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 25% of Yik Yak's written reviews are positive against 54% of IGOTIN's.
Yik Yak ships an update weekly, IGOTIN every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
