# USB Sharp vs iKlips

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.

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.

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.
