Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: SquareKit at free with in-app purchases against Square Sized's subscription. SquareKit also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.2). Square Sized's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (8.2K vs 418). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Square Sized sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year and SquareKit sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
SquareKit holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Square Sized has 8.2K ratings behind it against 418, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Square Sized's written reviews are positive against 52% of SquareKit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
