# Bark vs 115

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bark at 98% against 115's 31%. Bark also leads on rating (4.9 vs 2.4) and ads (none vs shown). 115's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bark sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.69 per year and 115 sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bark has 105 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two.
