# CoinKeeper vs Cashews

The clearest difference is monetization model: CoinKeeper at freemium against Cashews's subscription. CoinKeeper also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 70) and review sentiment (63% vs 50%). Cashews's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CoinKeeper sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Cashews sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CoinKeeper holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CoinKeeper has 1.6K ratings behind it against 70, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of CoinKeeper's written reviews are positive against 50% of Cashews's.

CoinKeeper ships an update every 6 weeks, Cashews every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
