# Kyugo vs Thought Path

The clearest difference is rating: Thought Path at 4.3 against Kyugo's 3.7. Kyugo's advantage is review sentiment (45% vs 25%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Kyugo sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Thought Path sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Thought Path holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 9 and 9 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Kyugo's written reviews are positive against 25% of Thought Path's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Kyugo ships an update every 2 months, Thought Path monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and July 8, 2026 respectively.
