# Boon vs Design Lab

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Boon at 82K against Design Lab's 2. Boon also leads on chart position (#53 vs unranked). Design Lab's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Boon sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days and Design Lab sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Design Lab holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boon has 82K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Boon ships an update weekly, Design Lab every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
