# Koro vs SoCaly

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SoCaly at 100% against Koro's 0%. SoCaly also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 weeks). Koro's advantage is ratings volume (46 vs 6) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Koro sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and SoCaly sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
