Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Keyboard Lao sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. 3 Grab asks for nothing beyond the download.
3 Grab holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Keyboard Lao has 26 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 95% of Keyboard Lao's written reviews are positive against 0% of 3 Grab's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Keyboard Lao ships an update every 10 months, 3 Grab every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
