Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Kayos at none against SHREDD's shown. Kayos also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). SHREDD's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid) and ratings volume (880 vs 147). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SHREDD sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Kayos sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for SHREDD against 4.6 for Kayos. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SHREDD has 880 ratings behind it against 147, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 89% of SHREDD's written reviews are positive against 81% of Kayos's.
SHREDD ships an update every 5 months, Kayos every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
