# Nautik for Kubernetes vs GLab

The clearest difference is rating: GLab at 5.0 against Nautik for Kubernetes's 4.6. GLab also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 79%) and chart position (#94 vs unranked). Nautik for Kubernetes's advantage is ratings volume (15 vs 1) and device support (5 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nautik for Kubernetes sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and GLab sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GLab holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nautik for Kubernetes has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 79% of Nautik for Kubernetes's written reviews are positive against 100% of GLab's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
