# Keynote vs Microsoft Copilot

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Keynote at none against Microsoft Copilot's 18. Keynote also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (62% vs 28%). Microsoft Copilot's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Microsoft Copilot sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Keynote asks for nothing beyond the download.

Microsoft Copilot holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Microsoft Copilot has 1.4M ratings behind it against 83K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Keynote's written reviews are positive against 28% of Microsoft Copilot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Keynote ships an update every 3 months, Microsoft Copilot every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 15, 2026.
