Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Kloü at 3.4 against SquadUP's 2.8. Kloü also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months). SquadUP's advantage is review sentiment (87% vs 50%) and ratings volume (26 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Kloü holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SquadUP has 26 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of SquadUP's written reviews are positive against 50% of Kloü's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SquadUP ships an update every 3 months, Kloü every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
