# رفقة vs بلال | Bilal

The clearest difference is rating: بلال | Bilal at 4.6 against رفقة's 3.9. بلال | Bilal also leads on ratings volume (11K vs 9). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

بلال | Bilal holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: بلال | Bilal has 11K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of رفقة's written reviews are positive against 74% of بلال | Bilal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

رفقة ships an update fortnightly, بلال | Bilal every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
