Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Renewise at 100% against Bobby's 56%. Renewise also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Bobby's advantage is ratings volume (8K vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). 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 Renewise sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Renewise holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bobby has 8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 56% of Bobby's written reviews are positive against 100% of Renewise's.
Bobby ships an update every 2 months, Renewise every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
