Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: KaroStream at 2.6 against Ratri's 1.0. KaroStream also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ratings volume (16 vs 1). Ratri's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (60% vs 49%). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
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. Ratri sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per 7 days. KaroStream asks for nothing beyond the download.
KaroStream holds the better App Store score, 2.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KaroStream has 16 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of KaroStream's written reviews are positive against 60% of Ratri's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
KaroStream ships an update every 3 months, Ratri every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
