Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: KMPlayer at 66% against Sticky's 21%. KMPlayer also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). Sticky's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and device support 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

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Sticky sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. KMPlayer asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sticky holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3.3K and 3.8K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of KMPlayer's written reviews are positive against 21% of Sticky's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

KMPlayer ships an update every 9 days, Sticky weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
