BedrockTogether helps Minecraft: Bedrock Edition players connect to supported servers from compatible console platforms, including Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. Any server shows up as a local network game on your console, so you can join it directly from the game — no computer required, no DNS changes. How it works: 1. Enter the server's address and port in the app. 2. Tap "Run". 3. Open your game and go to the Friends/Worlds tab. 4. The server appears as a local game — tap it and play. Compatibility: • Any device that can browse local network games in Minecraft: Bedrock Edition • A second connection method is available for devices that can't see local network games directly, using an in-game friends list instead Other features: • A ready-to-join list of partnered servers • Save your favorite servers for quick access • Ad-free version available in the app The app is free and ad-supported. If you'd prefer no ads, the ad-free version is available from Info → Ad-free Version, and also lets you save more than two favorites and hide the partnered servers list. Notes: • Your phone and game device must be on the same network. • Keep the app open while you play. • Realms are not supported. Support: For any issue, join our Discord: discord.gg/PDEfcUaKFj Disclaimer: BedrockTogether is an independently developed, third-party utility.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: BedrockTogether at 4.5 against BDFD's 4.0. BedrockTogether also leads on ratings volume (57K vs 87) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 weeks). BDFD's advantage is review sentiment (71% vs 54%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BDFD sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and BedrockTogether sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BedrockTogether holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BedrockTogether has 57K ratings behind it against 87, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of BDFD's written reviews are positive against 54% of BedrockTogether's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BDFD ships an update every 2 weeks, BedrockTogether every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
