# Bored Panda vs Bored

The clearest difference is ads: Bored at none against Bored Panda's shown. Bored also leads on review sentiment (43% vs 13%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Bored Panda's advantage is rating (3.8 vs 3.3) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 9). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Bored Panda holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bored Panda has 1.2K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of Bored Panda's written reviews are positive against 43% of Bored's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
