# BedrockTogether vs Epic Games

The clearest difference is rating: BedrockTogether at 4.5 against Epic Games's 3.0. BedrockTogether also leads on review sentiment (54% vs 19%) and ratings volume (57K vs 962). Epic Games's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BedrockTogether sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Epic Games asks for nothing beyond the download.

BedrockTogether holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BedrockTogether has 57K ratings behind it against 962, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 54% of BedrockTogether's written reviews are positive against 19% of Epic Games's.

BedrockTogether ships an update every 9 days, Epic Games every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on September 30, 2026.
