# Kinoppy（キノッピー） vs Poste

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Kinoppy（キノッピー） at 51% against Poste's 0%. Kinoppy（キノッピー） also leads on ratings volume (711 vs 1). Poste's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Kinoppy（キノッピー） sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Poste asks for nothing beyond the download.

Poste holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kinoppy（キノッピー） has 711 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Kinoppy（キノッピー）'s written reviews are positive against 0% of Poste's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
