Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ParagonOS™ at 100% against Bobby's 56%. ParagonOS™ also leads on update cadence (every 2 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.

Both are free to download. Bobby sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and ParagonOS™ sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ParagonOS™ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7.

UpkeepUpdate frequency
