Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Kickgoing at none against 쏘카's shown. 쏘카's advantage is ratings volume (3.2K vs 271). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence 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.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for 쏘카 against 4.6 for Kickgoing. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 쏘카 has 3.2K ratings behind it against 271, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 73% of 쏘카's written reviews are positive against 77% of Kickgoing's.
쏘카 ships an update fortnightly, Kickgoing every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
