# DigiD vs Bambook

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bambook at 67% against DigiD's 17%. Bambook also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). DigiD's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (6.5K vs 8). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bambook sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. DigiD asks for nothing beyond the download.

Bambook holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7.
