# Converter AM vs Bridges

The clearest difference is rating: Converter AM at 4.7 against Bridges's 4.4. Converter AM also leads on ratings volume (516 vs 17) and device support (5 vs 2). Bridges's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 67%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Converter AM sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Bridges sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Converter AM holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Converter AM has 516 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Converter AM's written reviews are positive against 75% of Bridges's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Converter AM ships an update every 2 weeks, Bridges every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 6, 2026 and August 5, 2026 respectively.
