# Bunpo vs LyricFluent

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Bunpo at 18K against LyricFluent's 3.1K. On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bunpo sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and LyricFluent sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Bunpo against 4.9 for LyricFluent. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bunpo has 18K ratings behind it against 3.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 72% and 73% positive.

Bunpo ships an update every 9 days, LyricFluent every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
