Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Bunpo at 18K against Jaemy's 19. Bunpo also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.7). Jaemy's advantage is review sentiment (85% vs 72%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Bunpo sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Jaemy sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Bunpo holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bunpo has 18K ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Bunpo's written reviews are positive against 85% of Jaemy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Bunpo ships an update every 9 days, Jaemy fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
