# KHL vs ХК СКА

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ХК СКА at none against KHL's 23. ХК СКА also leads on ads (none vs shown). KHL's advantage is ratings volume (1.9K vs 73) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

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

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for KHL against 4.9 for ХК СКА. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KHL has 1.9K ratings behind it against 73, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 40% of KHL's written reviews are positive against 39% of ХК СКА's.

KHL ships an update every 5 weeks, ХК СКА every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on October 26, 2026.
