# iGotify vs HelvetiKit

The clearest difference is rating: HelvetiKit at 5.0 against iGotify's 4.4. iGotify's advantage is ratings volume (14 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iGotify sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and HelvetiKit sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

HelvetiKit holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iGotify has 14 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

iGotify ships an update monthly, HelvetiKit every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 1, 2026 and August 8, 2026 respectively.
