# Docker Manager GUI vs K8Z

The clearest difference is rating: K8Z at 5.0 against Docker Manager GUI's 4.3. K8Z also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Docker Manager GUI's advantage is ratings volume (37 vs 3) and chart position (#168 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Docker Manager GUI sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and K8Z sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

K8Z holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Docker Manager GUI has 37 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Docker Manager GUI ships an update every 2 weeks, K8Z fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
