# KAMI vs Oberty

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Oberty at none against KAMI's 6. KAMI's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (512 vs 17). On price, rating, ads and chart position there is nothing between them.

KAMI costs $2.99 and Oberty $2.99 up front. KAMI sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Oberty asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for KAMI against 4.9 for Oberty. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KAMI has 512 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 84% of KAMI's written reviews are positive against 67% of Oberty's.

KAMI ships an update fortnightly, Oberty every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
