# KeepCalling International vs Access Irvine

KeepCalling International also leads on ratings volume (19K vs 20) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months).

Both are free to download. KeepCalling International sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Access Irvine asks for nothing beyond the download.

KeepCalling International holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KeepCalling International has 19K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of KeepCalling International's written reviews are positive against 41% of Access Irvine's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

KeepCalling International ships an update every 3 weeks, Access Irvine every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
