# KHL vs Judo.ru

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Judo.ru at 88% against KHL's 40%. Judo.ru also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 23) and ads (none vs shown). KHL's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (1.9K vs 5). On price, update cadence and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. KHL sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Judo.ru asks for nothing beyond the download.

KHL holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KHL has 1.9K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of KHL's written reviews are positive against 88% of Judo.ru's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

KHL ships an update every 5 weeks, Judo.ru every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
