The clearest difference is review sentiment: BL,LLC at 50% against Modern Flames's 20%. BL,LLC also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 12 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 14.0). Modern Flames's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (98 vs 18). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Modern Flames holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Modern Flames has 98 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Modern Flames's written reviews are positive against 50% of BL,LLC's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Modern Flames ships an update every 12 months, BL,LLC every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
