Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pure Enrichment at none against Kidde's 2. Kidde's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (7K vs 30). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
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. Kidde sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Pure Enrichment asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Kidde against 4.6 for Pure Enrichment. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kidde has 7K ratings behind it against 30, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Kidde ships an update every 2 months, Pure Enrichment every 13 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
