Both are free to download. Mesmerize sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and viBBes sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mesmerize ships an update every 3 weeks, viBBes every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
