# PiHelper vs BTBerryWifi

The clearest difference is rating: BTBerryWifi at 4.9 against PiHelper's 4.1. BTBerryWifi also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 64%). PiHelper's advantage is update cadence (every 5 months vs every 26 months) and ratings volume (255 vs 7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PiHelper sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and BTBerryWifi sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BTBerryWifi holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PiHelper has 255 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of PiHelper's written reviews are positive against 100% of BTBerryWifi's.

PiHelper ships an update every 5 months, BTBerryWifi every 26 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
