# InVintory vs Bourboneur

The clearest difference is review sentiment: InVintory at 73% against Bourboneur's 24%. InVintory also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.0) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 6 weeks). Bourboneur's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. InVintory sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Bourboneur sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
