Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: KET at none against WKYT News's shown. KET also leads on rating (3.3 vs 2.8) and review sentiment (33% vs 4%). WKYT News's advantage is ratings volume (515 vs 7) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
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.
KET holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WKYT News has 515 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 4% of WKYT News's written reviews are positive against 33% of KET's.
WKYT News ships an update every 5 weeks, KET every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
