# Bizzy vs Outside

Bizzy and Outside both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Bizzy's written reviews are positive against 52% of Outside's. Bizzy also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). Outside's advantage is ratings volume (2.8K vs 21) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Outside sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Bizzy asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Bizzy against 4.7 for Outside. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Outside has 2.8K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of Bizzy's written reviews are positive against 52% of Outside's.

Bizzy ships an update every 3 weeks, Outside every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
