# KarmaRun vs Kickfall

The clearest difference is rating: Kickfall at 5.0 against KarmaRun's 4.4. KarmaRun's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (90% vs 70%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. KarmaRun sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Kickfall sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Kickfall holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KarmaRun has 125 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of KarmaRun's written reviews are positive against 70% of Kickfall's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

KarmaRun ships an update every 10 days, Kickfall every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 22, 2026.
