Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
BCone holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pump with Elvie has 13K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Pump with Elvie's written reviews are positive against 20% of BCone's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pump with Elvie ships an update every 5 weeks, BCone every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and July 24, 2026 respectively.
