# Boards.com vs Ellipsend

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ellipsend at none against Boards.com's 30. Ellipsend also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Boards.com's advantage is ratings volume (21K vs 1) and chart position (#40 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Boards.com sells 24 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Ellipsend asks for nothing beyond the download.

Ellipsend holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boards.com has 21K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Boards.com ships an update weekly, Ellipsend every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
