Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Kitty Pops at none against K's shown. Kitty Pops also leads on review sentiment (90% vs 78%) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). K's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 30) and chart position (#126 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Kitty Pops sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and K sells 36 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Kitty Pops against 4.6 for K. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: K has 1.6K ratings behind it against 30, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 90% of Kitty Pops's written reviews are positive against 78% of K's.
