# BN vs Natscent

The clearest difference is ratings volume: BN at 1.9K against Natscent's 1. BN also leads on review sentiment (19% vs 0%). Natscent's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Natscent holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BN has 1.9K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of BN's written reviews are positive against 0% of Natscent's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
