# Kickstarter vs Proposit

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Proposit at 100% against Kickstarter's 33%. Proposit also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Kickstarter's advantage is ratings volume (59K vs 4) and chart position (#202 vs unranked). On price, 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.

Proposit holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kickstarter has 59K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of Kickstarter's written reviews are positive against 100% of Proposit's.

Kickstarter ships an update every 4 weeks, Proposit weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
