Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: AOJ+ at 4.9 against Kimura's 4.5. AOJ+ also leads on review sentiment (88% vs 62%) and ratings volume (395 vs 23). Kimura's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. AOJ+ sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per month and Kimura sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
AOJ+ holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AOJ+ has 395 ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of AOJ+'s written reviews are positive against 62% of Kimura's.
AOJ+ ships an update every 5 weeks, Kimura fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
