# KITAUT vs Killer Climber Samurai

The clearest difference is ratings volume: KITAUT at 32 against Killer Climber Samurai's 1. KITAUT also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 83%). Killer Climber Samurai's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. KITAUT sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Killer Climber Samurai sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Killer Climber Samurai holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8.

Written reviews complicate that: 100% of KITAUT's written reviews are positive against 83% of Killer Climber Samurai's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
