The call

The clearest difference is rating: KMC at 2.5 against BOX5's 1.5. KMC also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months). BOX5's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and ratings volume (49 vs 14). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

KMC holds the better App Store score, 2.5 against 1.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 14 and 49 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of KMC's written reviews are positive against 5% of BOX5's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

KMC ships an update every 3 weeks, BOX5 every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
