# KCUR vs WDRT

The clearest difference is ratings volume: WDRT at 10 against KCUR's 2. On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for KCUR against 4.9 for WDRT. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WDRT has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
