# 咕咚 vs Keep

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 咕咚 at 77% against Keep's 53%. Keep's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (17K vs 1.3K). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 咕咚 sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Keep sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Keep holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Keep has 17K ratings behind it against 1.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of 咕咚's written reviews are positive against 53% of Keep's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

咕咚 ships an update every 9 days, Keep weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
