# BIT vs new

The clearest difference is rating: new at 3.0 against BIT's 1.8. new also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). BIT's advantage is ratings volume (68 vs 1) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

new holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BIT has 68 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

BIT ships an update every 6 days, new every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
