# Bloom vs Gliss

The clearest difference is price: Gliss at Free against Bloom's $7.99. Bloom's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (65 vs 4). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Gliss is free to download; Bloom costs $7.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Bloom holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bloom has 65 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Bloom's written reviews are positive against 67% of Gliss's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
