Both are free to download. Tynker sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per month. Kai's Eye Robot Tracker asks for nothing beyond the download.
Tynker holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tynker has 18K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Tynker's written reviews are positive against 80% of Kai's Eye Robot Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Tynker ships an update every 3 weeks, Kai's Eye Robot Tracker every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
