Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Kemo at 4.6 against Philadelphia Utilities's 3.0. Kemo also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 32 months) and ratings volume (94K vs 2). Philadelphia Utilities's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 13) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Kemo holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kemo has 94K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Philadelphia Utilities's written reviews are positive against 17% of Kemo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Philadelphia Utilities ships an update every 32 months, Kemo every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
