# Bonsai Master vs Florisium

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Florisium at 1.9K against Bonsai Master's 19. Florisium also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). Bonsai Master's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bonsai Master sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Florisium sells 23 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Florisium holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Florisium has 1.9K ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 90% of Bonsai Master's written reviews are positive against 93% of Florisium's.

Bonsai Master ships an update fortnightly, Florisium every 6 days. Both last shipped on October 17, 2026.
