# Git client vs Kodex

The clearest difference is rating: Git client at 4.8 against Kodex's 4.2. Git client also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 63%) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). Kodex's advantage is iOS requirement (13.4 vs 18.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Git client sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Kodex sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Git client holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Git client has 3.8K ratings behind it against 207, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 91% of Git client's written reviews are positive against 63% of Kodex's.

Git client ships an update every 9 days, Kodex monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
