# Tesseract! vs KAMI 2

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tesseract! at none against KAMI 2's 7. Tesseract! also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). KAMI 2's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 66 months). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. KAMI 2 sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Tesseract! asks for nothing beyond the download.

KAMI 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KAMI 2 has 15K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Tesseract!'s written reviews are positive against 84% of KAMI 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tesseract! ships an update every 66 months, KAMI 2 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
