Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Juky sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Swiftfin asks for nothing beyond the download.
Swiftfin holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Swiftfin has 277 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Swiftfin's written reviews are positive against 57% of Juky's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Swiftfin ships an update every 3 months, Juky every 7 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
