# BloomPixel vs Bored Candy City

The clearest difference is rating: Bored Candy City at 4.6 against BloomPixel's 1.0. Bored Candy City also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (27 vs 1). BloomPixel's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 73%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BloomPixel sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Bored Candy City sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bored Candy City holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bored Candy City has 27 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of BloomPixel's written reviews are positive against 73% of Bored Candy City's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

BloomPixel ships an update every 5 months, Bored Candy City every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
