Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: CME Group at Free against KIS Futures's $1.99. CME Group also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.9) and ratings volume (4K vs 12). KIS Futures's advantage is review sentiment (81% vs 57%) and chart position (#51 vs unranked). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CME Group holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CME Group has 4K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of CME Group's written reviews are positive against 81% of KIS Futures's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CME Group ships an update fortnightly, KIS Futures weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
