Verdict
Bond Touch and only u both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of only u's written reviews are positive against 42% of Bond Touch's. Bond Touch's advantage is ratings volume (18K vs 12) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and ads 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. Bond Touch sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and only u sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 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 — 4.6 for Bond Touch against 4.6 for only u. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bond Touch has 18K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 42% of Bond Touch's written reviews are positive against 100% of only u's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
