# Alias vs Bunker

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bunker at none against Alias's 31. Bunker also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Alias's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (1.7K vs 16). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Alias sells 31 one-off in-app purchases. Bunker asks for nothing beyond the download.

Alias holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Alias has 1.7K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 94% and 93% positive.

Alias ships an update every 2 months, Bunker every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
