# Radiate vs kndi

Radiate and kndi both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of kndi's written reviews are positive against 65% of Radiate's. kndi also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days). Radiate's advantage is ratings volume (31K vs 26) and chart position (#94 vs unranked). On price, rating and ads there is nothing between them.
