# BVB vs Allianz Arena

The clearest difference is review sentiment: BVB at 93% against Allianz Arena's 57%. BVB also leads on ratings volume (543 vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). Allianz Arena's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

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

Allianz Arena holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BVB has 543 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of BVB's written reviews are positive against 57% of Allianz Arena's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

BVB ships an update every 2 weeks, Allianz Arena monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
