Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: MikvahCloud at none against OU Kosher's shown. MikvahCloud also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). OU Kosher's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 14 months) and rating (4.1 vs 3.9). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
OU Kosher holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 15 and 7 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of OU Kosher's written reviews are positive against 75% of MikvahCloud's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
OU Kosher ships an update every 5 weeks, MikvahCloud every 14 months. The most recent releases landed on June 4, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
