# Boxes vs NoRummage

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Boxes at 953 against NoRummage's 9. NoRummage's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Boxes sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 3 months and NoRummage sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

NoRummage holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boxes has 953 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 91% of Boxes's written reviews are positive against 100% of NoRummage's.

Boxes ships an update every 3 weeks, NoRummage every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
