# Boostcamp vs Friendly Competitions

The clearest difference is rating: Boostcamp at 4.8 against Friendly Competitions's 3.6. Boostcamp also leads on ratings volume (10K vs 7) and chart position (#151 vs unranked). Friendly Competitions's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Boostcamp sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and Friendly Competitions sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Boostcamp holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boostcamp has 10K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 60% and 60% positive.

Boostcamp ships an update fortnightly, Friendly Competitions every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
