ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Dark Money holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ニコニコ ファイナンス has 15 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of ニコニコ ファイナンス's written reviews are positive against 14% of Dark Money's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ニコニコ ファイナンス ships an update every 7 months, Dark Money monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
