Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Tuana at every 2 weeks against K's every 5 weeks. Tuana also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). K's advantage is chart position (#143 vs unranked) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 290). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. K sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Tuana sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for K against 4.6 for Tuana. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: K has 1.6K ratings behind it against 290, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 78% of K's written reviews are positive against 85% of Tuana's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

K ships an update every 5 weeks, Tuana every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
