ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

KREDO holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Marinus has 215 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Marinus's written reviews are positive against 0% of KREDO's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Marinus ships an update every 5 weeks, KREDO weekly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
