# ときめき彼氏 vs BUSTAFELLOWS

The clearest difference is rating: ときめき彼氏 at 5.0 against BUSTAFELLOWS's 4.3. BUSTAFELLOWS's advantage is review sentiment (70% vs 46%) and ratings volume (7 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ときめき彼氏 sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and BUSTAFELLOWS sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ときめき彼氏 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 7 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of ときめき彼氏's written reviews are positive against 70% of BUSTAFELLOWS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ときめき彼氏 ships an update every 5 weeks, BUSTAFELLOWS every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
