Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BDO Online at 4.7 against GSIS Touch's 3.4. BDO Online also leads on ratings volume (11K vs 17) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). GSIS Touch's advantage is review sentiment (27% vs 11%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
BDO Online holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BDO Online has 11K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of GSIS Touch's written reviews are positive against 11% of BDO Online's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
GSIS Touch ships an update every 3 months, BDO Online every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
