# Silent Dismissal vs BridgePay

The clearest difference is rating: BridgePay at 2.3 against Silent Dismissal's 1.4. BridgePay also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). Silent Dismissal's advantage is ratings volume (68 vs 6) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Silent Dismissal sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. BridgePay asks for nothing beyond the download.

BridgePay holds the better App Store score, 2.3 against 1.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Silent Dismissal has 68 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 8% of Silent Dismissal's written reviews are positive against 0% of BridgePay's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Silent Dismissal ships an update monthly, BridgePay every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
