Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
다음 카페 holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 9 and 14 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of 다음 카페's written reviews are positive against 48% of asked 에스크's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
다음 카페 ships an update weekly, asked 에스크 every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
