# GBNY vs Ruby

The clearest difference is ads: Ruby at none against GBNY's shown. Ruby also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 84%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). GBNY's advantage is ratings volume (876 vs 155). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for GBNY against 4.8 for Ruby. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GBNY has 876 ratings behind it against 155, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 84% of GBNY's written reviews are positive against 100% of Ruby's.

GBNY ships an update every 2 weeks, Ruby every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
