# 鸟 vs BeeJoy

The clearest difference is price: BeeJoy at Free against 鸟's $0.99. BeeJoy also leads on device support (6 vs 3). 鸟's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (102 vs 14). On review sentiment, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

BeeJoy is free to download; 鸟 costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

鸟 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 鸟 has 102 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of 鸟's written reviews are positive against 84% of BeeJoy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

鸟 ships an update every 3 weeks, BeeJoy every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
