Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ISLANDERS at 4.4 against Kaamos's 4.1. ISLANDERS also leads on chart position (#132 vs unranked). Kaamos's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and price ($3.99 vs $4.99). On review sentiment, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Kaamos costs $3.99 and ISLANDERS $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ISLANDERS holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 15 and 29 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Kaamos's written reviews are positive against 65% of ISLANDERS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Kaamos ships an update weekly, ISLANDERS every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 20, 2026.
