Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SIBNET holds the better App Store score, 2.0 against 1.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of SIBNET's written reviews are positive against 11% of B Free's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SIBNET ships an update every 6 months, B Free fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
