Both are free to download. Kalimba Master sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Kalimba Flows sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Kalimba Flows holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kalimba Master has 13 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Kalimba Master's written reviews are positive against 0% of Kalimba Flows's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Kalimba Master ships an update every 3 weeks, Kalimba Flows weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
