# Kilo vs Macromate

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Kilo at 41 against Macromate's 1. Macromate's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 10 days) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Kilo sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Macromate sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 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 — 4.9 for Kilo against 5.0 for Macromate. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kilo has 41 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Kilo ships an update every 10 days, Macromate every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
