# Push Notification vs BBCBasic

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BBCBasic at none against Push Notification's 1. BBCBasic also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.4 vs 4.1). Push Notification's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (58 vs 8). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Push Notification sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. BBCBasic asks for nothing beyond the download.

BBCBasic holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Push Notification has 58 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of Push Notification's written reviews are positive against 75% of BBCBasic's.

Push Notification ships an update fortnightly, BBCBasic every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 6, 2026 respectively.
