# Bugs vs Garden

The clearest difference is rating: Bugs at 4.6 against Garden's 4.1. Bugs also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Garden's advantage is update cadence (every 5 months vs every 62 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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

Bugs holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 32 and 40 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Bugs's written reviews are positive against 100% of Garden's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Bugs ships an update every 62 months, Garden every 5 months. Both last shipped on October 15, 2026.
