# K vs Fluff

The clearest difference is review sentiment: K at 78% against Fluff's 32%. K also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.2) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 61). Fluff's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. K sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Fluff sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

K holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: K has 1.6K ratings behind it against 61, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of K's written reviews are positive against 32% of Fluff's.

K ships an update every 5 weeks, Fluff every 2 days. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
