Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Boo! at 4.8 against Pivot's 4.4. Boo! also leads on ratings volume (201 vs 5) and update cadence (every 5 months vs every 15 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Boo! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Pivot sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Boo! holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boo! has 201 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 96% of Boo!'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Pivot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Boo! ships an update every 5 months, Pivot every 15 months. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
