# SOOP vs KakaoPage

The clearest difference is rating: SOOP at 4.2 against KakaoPage's 1.6. SOOP also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 weeks) and review sentiment (35% vs 19%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SOOP sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $5.49 per month and KakaoPage sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SOOP holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 1.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SOOP has 756 ratings behind it against 105, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 35% of SOOP's written reviews are positive against 19% of KakaoPage's.

SOOP ships an update every 3 days, KakaoPage every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
