# Crew vs Bulletin

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Crew at 67% against Bulletin's 42%. Crew also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). Bulletin's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days) and device support (6 vs 3). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Crew sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Bulletin sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
