With KDM Inspector, you can: - See whether a playback window is Active, Upcoming, or Expired. - View start and expiration times in your local time zone or UTC. - Find server or media block serial numbers when recognized in the KDM. - Inspect content titles, composition playlist IDs, message IDs, and content key counts. - View recipient details, certificate serial numbers, and show player public key thumbprints. - Search by title, server serial number, recipient, filename, or composition playlist ID. - Filter your library by playback status. - Share a readable summary of key details. Designed for iPhone and iPad, with Dark Mode, support for larger text, and Liquid Glass controls on iOS and iPadOS 26 or later. KDM information is read and stored on your device.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Socode at every 3 weeks against KDM Inspector's every 38 months. Socode also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (15 vs 1). KDM Inspector's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and price ($2.99 vs $4.99). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model 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
KDM Inspector costs $2.99 and Socode $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Socode holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Socode has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of KDM Inspector's written reviews are positive against 73% of Socode's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
KDM Inspector ships an update every 38 months, Socode every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
