Verdict
Boostcamp and C both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of C's written reviews are positive against 60% of Boostcamp's. C also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). Boostcamp's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 5) and chart position (#154 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Boostcamp sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and C sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Boostcamp against 5.0 for C. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boostcamp has 11K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 60% of Boostcamp's written reviews are positive against 100% of C's.
Boostcamp ships an update fortnightly, C every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
