# Microgram vs Kiwi

Microgram and Kiwi both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 83% of Kiwi's written reviews are positive against 67% of Microgram's. Kiwi also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Microgram's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 76). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Microgram sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Kiwi sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Microgram against 4.7 for Kiwi. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Microgram has 1.1K ratings behind it against 76, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 67% of Microgram's written reviews are positive against 83% of Kiwi's.

Microgram ships an update every 2 weeks, Kiwi weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
