Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Nudget at weekly against Bobby's every 2 months. Nudget also leads on review sentiment (69% vs 56%). Bobby's advantage is ratings volume (8K vs 378) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Bobby sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Nudget sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Bobby holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bobby has 8K ratings behind it against 378, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Bobby's written reviews are positive against 69% of Nudget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Bobby ships an update every 2 months, Nudget weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
