# Bristol Live vs Firefeed

The clearest difference is rating: Bristol Live at 5.0 against Firefeed's 1.0. Bristol Live also leads on review sentiment (30% vs 0%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 8 months). Firefeed's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
