Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Kana at Free against Trivia's $6.99. Kana also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Trivia's advantage is review sentiment (85% vs 50%) and ratings volume (639 vs 2). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Kana holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Trivia has 639 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Trivia's written reviews are positive against 50% of Kana's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Trivia ships an update every 5 months, Kana every 16 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
