Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: iKlips at 4.6 against USB Sharp's 3.1. iKlips also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (4.7K vs 18). USB Sharp's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. USB Sharp sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and iKlips sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iKlips holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iKlips has 4.7K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of USB Sharp's written reviews are positive against 47% of iKlips's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

USB Sharp ships an update every 3 weeks, iKlips every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
