# Boomit vs Host Royale

The clearest difference is monetization model: Boomit at free with in-app purchases against Host Royale's subscription. Boomit also leads on ratings volume (1.7K vs 4) and chart position (#22 vs unranked). Host Royale's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 5 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 78%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Boomit sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year and Host Royale sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Host Royale holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boomit has 1.7K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of Boomit's written reviews are positive against 100% of Host Royale's.

Boomit ships an update every 5 weeks, Host Royale daily. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
