# Bark vs EVlog

The clearest difference is rating: Bark at 4.9 against EVlog's 1.0. Bark also leads on ratings volume (105 vs 1) and review sentiment (98% vs 85%). EVlog's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bark sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.69 per year and EVlog sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bark holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bark has 105 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 98% of Bark's written reviews are positive against 85% of EVlog's.

Bark ships an update every 3 weeks, EVlog weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and August 29, 2026 respectively.
