Verdict

The call

MAC.BID and Coen Markets both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 74% of MAC.BID's written reviews are positive against 37% of Coen Markets's. MAC.BID also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 7 months). Coen Markets's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Coen Markets holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MAC.BID has 39K ratings behind it against 1.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of MAC.BID's written reviews are positive against 37% of Coen Markets's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MAC.BID ships an update every 8 days, Coen Markets every 7 months. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
