# Buffl vs InkDeck

The clearest difference is rating: Buffl at 5.0 against InkDeck's 4.0. Buffl also leads on ratings volume (11 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). InkDeck's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Buffl sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and InkDeck sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Buffl holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Buffl has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Buffl ships an update monthly, InkDeck every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
