# Kickstarter vs Voronoi by Visual Capitalist

The clearest difference is rating: Kickstarter at 4.8 against Voronoi by Visual Capitalist's 4.0. Kickstarter also leads on ratings volume (59K vs 85) and chart position (#204 vs unranked). Voronoi by Visual Capitalist's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Kickstarter holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kickstarter has 59K ratings behind it against 85, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Kickstarter's written reviews are positive against 52% of Voronoi by Visual Capitalist's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Kickstarter ships an update every 4 weeks, Voronoi by Visual Capitalist fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
