# Aeromatic vs Bloom

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Aeromatic at 106 against Bloom's 1. Bloom's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Aeromatic sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Bloom sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 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 Aeromatic against 5.0 for Bloom. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Aeromatic has 106 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 97% of Aeromatic's written reviews are positive against 100% of Bloom's.

Aeromatic ships an update monthly, Bloom every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
