Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Symbol Keyboard+ at Free against Symbol Pad Pro's $0.99. Symbol Keyboard+ also leads on review sentiment (87% vs 68%) and ratings volume (1.7K vs 115). Symbol Pad Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Symbol Pad Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Symbol Keyboard+ has 1.7K ratings behind it against 115, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Symbol Pad Pro's written reviews are positive against 87% of Symbol Keyboard+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Symbol Pad Pro ships an update every 2 months, Symbol Keyboard+ every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
