# ChiWalking vs KURE

The clearest difference is price: KURE at Free against ChiWalking's $2.99. KURE also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 35 months). ChiWalking's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.4). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

KURE is free to download; ChiWalking costs $2.99 up front. ChiWalking sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and KURE sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

KURE holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KURE has 9.5K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of ChiWalking's written reviews are positive against 16% of KURE's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ChiWalking ships an update every 35 months, KURE weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
