# NapBot vs Backlogged

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Backlogged at 100% against NapBot's 18%. Backlogged also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2). NapBot's advantage is ratings volume (6.3K vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NapBot sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Backlogged sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
