# Bowelle vs Bipolar Tracker

The clearest difference is rating: Bowelle at 4.7 against Bipolar Tracker's 3.9. Bowelle also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (92% vs 60%). Bipolar Tracker's advantage is device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bowelle sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and Bipolar Tracker sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $4.95 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bowelle holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bowelle has 2.2K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 92% of Bowelle's written reviews are positive against 60% of Bipolar Tracker's.

Bowelle ships an update fortnightly, Bipolar Tracker every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
