# Kayos vs PAKO 3

The clearest difference is rating: Kayos at 4.6 against PAKO 3's 4.0. Kayos also leads on review sentiment (81% vs 43%) and ads (none vs shown). PAKO 3's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Kayos sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and PAKO 3 sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Kayos holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PAKO 3 has 920 ratings behind it against 148, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 81% of Kayos's written reviews are positive against 43% of PAKO 3's.

Kayos ships an update every 4 months, PAKO 3 fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
