Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: b at 5.0 against b's 2.9. b also leads on device support (3 vs 1). b's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 0%) and ratings volume (68 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
b holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: b has 68 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of b's written reviews are positive against 33% of b's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
b ships an update fortnightly, b every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
