# ABIT vs Bright Crowns

The clearest difference is ratings volume: ABIT at 60 against Bright Crowns's 1. ABIT also leads on device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.2). Bright Crowns's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ABIT sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Bright Crowns sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bright Crowns holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ABIT has 60 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

ABIT ships an update every 2 weeks, Bright Crowns every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
