# Bee.io! vs Pocket Bees

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bee.io! at 100% against Pocket Bees's 57%. Bee.io! also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Pocket Bees's advantage is rating (3.8 vs 3.3) and ratings volume (330 vs 3). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pocket Bees sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Bee.io! asks for nothing beyond the download.

Pocket Bees holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pocket Bees has 330 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Bee.io!'s written reviews are positive against 57% of Pocket Bees's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
