# KTIV vs AgMobile

The clearest difference is ads: AgMobile at none against KTIV's shown. AgMobile also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and review sentiment (76% vs 65%). KTIV's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

KTIV holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KTIV has 2.6K ratings behind it against 411, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of KTIV's written reviews are positive against 76% of AgMobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

KTIV ships an update monthly, AgMobile every 3 months. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
