# Julian vs Big Sexy

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Big Sexy at none against Julian's 3. Big Sexy also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Julian's advantage is ratings volume (4.8K vs 21). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Julian sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Big Sexy asks for nothing beyond the download.

Big Sexy holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Julian has 4.8K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of Julian's written reviews are positive against 100% of Big Sexy's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
