# Bandbreite vs Small Web

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Small Web at none against Bandbreite's 4. Small Web also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 84%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Bandbreite's advantage is ratings volume (688 vs 11). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bandbreite sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Small Web asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Bandbreite against 4.9 for Small Web. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bandbreite has 688 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 84% of Bandbreite's written reviews are positive against 100% of Small Web's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
