# kanah vs Margins

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Margins at 20K against kanah's 3. Margins also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days) and chart position (#50 vs unranked). kanah's advantage is iOS requirement (13 vs 17.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. kanah sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Margins sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for kanah against 4.9 for Margins. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Margins has 20K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
