Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Krinon at 100% against CatholicHÔM's 80%. Krinon also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). CatholicHÔM's advantage is ratings volume (61 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CatholicHÔM sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Krinon sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Krinon holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CatholicHÔM has 61 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

CatholicHÔM ships an update monthly, Krinon every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
